SMELL experience expert have revealed the 10 weirdest smells they've been asked to create for theme parks.
AromaPrime have been making artificial smells for almost 50 years, generating more than 400 odours for attractions across the UK to make the experiences even more immersive for guests.
One of their themed smell consultants Liam R. Findlay, explained why they do it: “Our scent receptors are connected to the part of the brain which processes memories and emotions, which is why fragrances help experiences stick in our minds.
"They also make us feel different emotions, like excitement, fear, or happiness.
Here are the top ten smells that they have had to create so far.
Kylie Minogue's breath
Topping the charts at number one is Kylie Minogue’s Breath.
In 2002, AromaPrime created a breathing mechanism for Kylie 's wax figure at Madame Tussauds, along with the smell of her breath.

Number eight goes to the smell of burning witch.
This stink was used by the London Dungeon and has been described as fiery, fleshy and fantastical.
Sports changing rooms
The scent of sports changing rooms is in at number nine.

Among a number of other smells available for theme parks and attractions, AromaPrime also offer stinky poo, haunted manor and sweaty feet.
