Tropicana has a plant in Bradenton. Smells like overly cooked oranges, and sometimes like rotten cooked oranges. Some people say it smells like that all the time - I notice it only occasionally when I drive up there.
Ludwigshafen Germany smells like canned bratwurst to me. They say it comes from the Chemical plants there.
The town I grew up in was small, and there was a farmer nearby ...occasionally I would smell their "Misthaufen" Manure pile. Oddly enough, I like the smell of a German manure pile better than the manure piles I have smelled in the states. Might be the feed.
Other than the manure pile, the town was recognized as a Luftkur ort. Air spa area, loosely translated.
