Kate Moss has made a very bizarre parental confession. While promoting her new perfume, Kate mentioned that her daughter loves the smell of gasoline. Instead of discouraging what could turn into a very dangerous habit, Kate says she intentionally leaves the door open at the gas station so that little Lila Grace can get a good sniff
KATE MOSS’s little girl loves the smell of petrol fumes, says mum — who’s been partial to a sniff herself over the years.
Kate said that when she fills up she has to leave the car door open so Lila Grace, five, can catch a whiff.
Kate has just released new fragrance Velvet Hour and said of her daughter’s habit: “I’ve heard it is one of the most preferred scents in the world — maybe that’s something to study for my next fragrance.”
Perhaps trendy Diesel might be interested in marketing that one.
And Kate gushed: “I really miss Lila when I’m away — though I try not to be away for more than two nights… I love her more than anything in the whole wide world.” She must love her a lot if its more than her love of a tear-up.

Sadly I too will admit to being a fan of the gasoline/white board marker/rubber cement smell. When I was a kid the only time I ever got sent to the principal’s office was for sniffing a red white board marker when my teacher told me not to. And then lying about it. Turns out, it left quite the distinct mark under my nose.
There is something about that smell that – to some people – smells really good in a way that’s hard to describe. But when kids get older some of them figure out they can turn that fragrant love into a possibly fatal huffing habit. For about ten reasons it’s pretty shocking that Kate would not just discourage the habit but actually encourage and indulge it. I can’t imagine there’s a parent in this day and age who’d think this was a normal or okay thing to do. And then willingly joke about it to the press.
Update by Celebitchy: I don’t know if there’s anything wrong with letting your kid smell gas fumes occasionally as long as they don’t make it a habit, but I wanted to use this excuse to post the photo of the spraypaint huffing guy from The Smoking Gun, it’s hysterical:
Here’s Kate Moss with Lila Grace having lunch in a beach bar in Ibiza on August 4th. Images thanks to PR Photos.

Hmm I totally didn’t get that meaning when I read the title of the post. For some reason I was thinking the gas station bathroom door?
FYI I am sleep deprived.
-
My son is the same way, he just looooves the smell of gasoline, exhaust pipes, car interiors…
-
Brain damage, it does a kid good. What an idiot. And Peta protests cruelty to animals?
-
Spraypaint Huffing Guy has taken a right hook at some point in his life.
Gold is SO 1980s.
-
i know a lot of people who like the smell of gas. it’s not like she’s soaking a rag and handing it to her to sniff. big deal.
-
I remember loving that smell(gasoline) when I was a kid. Now I hate it, though. Don’t know WHAT I was thinking.
I guess it’s good to know that I wasn’t the only one. 
-
I liked it too when I was a kid. Couldn’t stand it when I was in my teens and 20s. Quite like it again a little bit
It doesn’t have a patch on melted tar though, it’s the smell of summer for me
(hey, I grew up in the west of Ireland in the 80s, tarmacadamed roads were considered a luxury then!!! 
)

LOL @ VAL! I thought the exact same thing
I thought it meant that she left the bathroom door open so her daughter could smell the obnoxious fumes inside. I don’t know where my mind was, but I’m glad I wasn’t the only one that went there!Loved the smell of gasoline as a kid too… Not sure I’d consider it a dangerous habit though - I’ve never huffed a thing in my life but I did love me some gas station visits
-
For me it was these paraffin-soaked little sticks they sold in bundles to light fires. I used to stick my nose in the bucket and inhale as deeply and as long as I could. Hmm…that might explain a few things…
-
I always stuck my head out the car window to catch a whiff of gasoline whenever my Dad filled up the car tank.
Still like it, but not as much. Perhaps the price per gallon has turned me off.
-
Val & RAN–Me too. Something about Kate Moss that triggers visions of gas station bathrooms.
(imagining scene from Trainspotting) -
I love the smell of gasoline in the morning . . .
And while I want to offer props for posting Spraypaint Huffing Guy, I have to admit that there’s another huffer nearer and dearer to my heart . . .

I can’t smell so I’ve no clue. But I have loads of friends who think that gasoline is a lovely fragrance.
-
I’ve always loved the smell of gas. Its just one of those scents that make you want to sniff again.
-
Heh me too. I’ve always inhaled deeply at petrol stations, ever since I was like 5.
My parents used to drive us across the country to spend christmases with our grandparents, and it took 4 days to drive there. Woohoo! Aaaah. -
This is a big deal? I’m pretty sure liking the smell of gasoline doesn’t lead to substance abuse. I’ve always loved it, and the only substance abuse I can claim is an addiction to crunchy nut cornflakes.
-
fresh tarmac! Made me all nostalgic, Mairead! That and permanent markers which I still have a good ole’ sniff of from time to time. Petrol only when it was mixed in with lawn-mowing and lazy summer days.

Poor kid. Having Coke Moss as your mother is guaranteed to screw you up for life.
-
I love those smells (gas,markers,glue)
-
Ahh i sniffed the lovely gas smells as a kid and I have no lasting effects from it…

Well said, finally a good report on this stuff

For me it was magic markers, gasoline, liquid paper, Elmer’s glue, turpentine…I’m sure there were a couple of others but yeah, kids seem to have a ‘thing’ for glue and solvent smells. I don’t know what it is but it seems the stuff that’s really bad for you flicks a happy switch in the brain.
(I like new car smell too but hey, can’t have everything!)
