My problem is that my Yanmar is midships. Great for accessibility and boat balance, but the diesel smell emanates from the middle of the salon. Tough to eliminate that source! I can't think of another smell that permeates like diesel. The smell isn't that obvious when you enter, but if you take cushions, or curtains or clothes that have been on board into the fresh air, it's obvious. I looked at at Westsail 32 once. It has a formal engine compartment complete with a fiberglass door and bulkhead. At the time, I kind of laughed thinking "this is a little over the top for a 32' boat!". I'm not laughing anymore!
