Periodic Table of Smellements

Natalie Dee of the webcomic Married to the Sea organized and categorized elemental smells into a periodic table. Sure, you can probably think of other smells, but they’re really just compounds of these, right?

My only objections would be that I enjoy basement, garage, and skunk.
There are two Cb's - Cabbage and Cinnabon - not similar smells at all.
A vomity corpse smells worse than a dirty diaper? I'm not so sure. Then again, I've smelled rotten corpses in August, but none were vomity, so I cannot be sure.
Purer gasoline, without detergents, without ethanol, etc. actually smells pretty good. My theory is that they started putting chemicals in it to make it unpleasant. When I was a kid gasoline smelled pleasant but in some smaller countries (or states) without emission standards it still does.
