Strangely, the smell I don't like is petrol! Odd dislike for someone who's built a car...
The one I do like is the one you get in old but well-maintained posh cars - P4 Rovers, Mk 2 Jags, etc. A mixture of leather, wood, oil, and so on.

There's a clubman in Adelaide called the Red Knob Special  which has an old Corolla motor (3K?) fed by twin 2" SUs through a
supercharger. The protocol calls for running a pre-mix of castor oil in the fuel to lube the blower and water-methanol mix for post supercharger
injection to control detonation. As you might imagine, at full noise it both sounds and smells very, very good  A few photos attached.

Castrol Ahh...
Burnt Leaded petrol (my town has an annual classic car meet - the air used to be thick with 4-star fumes, but not anymore).
Hot oil/engine/brakes after a fast run.

Gearbox oil

The smell of trackday hot tyres after you've taken then out of the tyre warmers
Then the smell of a red hot bike thats just been thrashed within an inch of it's life round said track top leave the tyres shredded
(and if you look closly you can see the tyre is actually out of shape due to the excsessive tyre wear
