Indeed, when you have to stop at a gas station (for the not-yet-electricfied lawnmower) and it's been six months because you have an EV, you are suddenly shocked at how horrendous the smell of gasoline is.

I am originally from a small farm town, less than 5000 people. I remember the first time I came into the city, how vividly the smells hit me. I still get it when I travel out of the city for a while and come back. Cities stink! But you acclimatize so quickly it doesn't matter.

The biology that evolved to tell you that something stinks likely has a positive correlation to how healthy it is for you (delicious stinky cheeses aside).
