I liked xylene most, followed by toluene. Maybe it's bias because you know it is carcinogenic... but indeed benzene isn't as nice as the others. Vicious undertones, that's very apt.

Xylene, yes, very dangerous, used some for cleanup after painting swimming pools, threw up in traffic an hour latet.

I kinda like phenol most. And it's actually completely safe, it's even used in throat sprays.
