I personally do like my s/o's smell that's usually a mix of his BO and usual cologne. Since we cuddle pretty often, it's even becoming a habit if mine to smell my left shoulder/arm when I need a bit of safety.
I can understand not liking smelling others as it can be disgusting at times, i.e you won't want to smell them after their workout, but there are still instances where it feels so good it can calm you down

You should do some research on smell, it's pretty interesting! From business, marketing, to parent-children relationship, to romantic attractions. Smell play a huge part without us realizing it + hormones and pheromones.
Certain smells remind us of things that make us feel, i.e., safe, loved, comfortable, or even nervous and worried.
Over the last several years, it became increasingly clear that pheromone-like chemical signals probably play a role in offspring identification and mother recognition.

Roland-Jenkins says that we may rely entirely on scent and primal attraction when choosing a partner. “A number of people actually choose their partners by subconsciously being attracted to the scent of another person’s pheromones," she says. "The actual strength of a person’s attraction to their partner is mainly dictated by the release of pheromones, which is your partner’s natural scent.”

i'm just wondering, but do people actually smell their crush/significant other's clothes?
like i see it all the time in manga...
and I think it's weird, like I love my significant other and all, but I wouldn't smell their shit
