The workshops behind the bakeries, very early in the morning spread in the streets an incomparable smell
One of my earliest memories. Is going to buy morning rolls at the local bakery which had a brick oven. The smell, the heat…
I wonder what a pig would say about humans [haha]
probably “those humans stink but boy do they taste good on bread with some brown sauce”
Clothes washed in Cold Water Tide PODS of course!

Maybe ask at the entrance of the slaughterhouse ?
"Oh, what's this neat building? Is there food??"
There are so many "best smell in the world" moments. Scent is the most evocative of all the senses. We can all think of scents that bring back beautiful memories. Here are a few of mine (as more come to me I will add them here);
Pine Trees (I used to live near a pine wood in Scotland when I was a child).
Freshly worked wood (despite my being terrible at woodwork at school).
My cousins' risotto (it is to LIVE for. Apparently Greta Scacchi also approved of it).
Christmas (because!).
A newly born anything (new life).
A good cigar or pipe tobacco in a good pipe (I do not smoke, and I don't like the taste of it, but the smell can be wonderful if the tobacco is a good one).
Canal and/or river (family have narrow boats, and cruising along the waterways of Great Britain slowly enough to SEE the sights while taking in the sounds and smells in beautiful).
Freshly laundered bed linen (especially if it is cotton).
Holiday! (that first whiff you get, whatever it is, as you wake up to the first day of your holiday, regardless of location or planned activities).
A chip buttie made with thick chips, doorstep slices of home made wholemeal bread with butter (but your scent organs have to be QUICK, otherwise it is gone!).

A Whisky Mac (made properly with Stones Green Ginger Wine and a good single malt whisky. I rarely drink it (as my job entails a lot of driving), but I breathe in the smell!).
A steam engine simmering with a good head of steam (and when an engine is working you can see why engineers can think of them as living, with the smells, vibrations and so on).
A proper, old style bakery early in the morning (nasal overload!).

I love your list! It reminded me that I left off a few items from my list.
1. Cooking bacon over a campfire in the mountains (that pine tree smell with pine smoke and bacon is incredible). I live very close to a bunch of 14ers, and spend a lot of time up there in the summer.
2. Hobbit's Weed pipe tobacco from Tewksbury's of Denver (sadly closed a year ago)...an absolutely amazing aroma. I do maintain a pipe and humidor, although I only smoke my pipe a couple of times per year.

I'm another non-smoker who can appreciate a whiff of fine tobacco.
Funny how often bread, bacon and coffee come up!

In no particular order:
90 weight oil (gearbox oil)
Pig cooking (real favorite is opening a large cooker with 20+ boston butts on it!)|
Campfires/wood heaters on a cold morning
Gunpowder
Rain on hot tarmac
Freshly mown grass
oddly...well maintained freshwater aquarium water...
Related, the ocean....

Then they get old like my dog. She can clear a room with her gas, man. No joke.
It would concern me more if I couldn't smell the coffee............ dark roasted, fresh brewed.
You are optimistic !
No wonder with what they eat
Kibble and dog food during years leave traces

I hate pollution
But when I was a child with my moped and also on the circuits of races of motorcycles and cars, I liked hot gases of the castor oil mixed in the gasoline which went out of the exhaust pipe
