A320 fuel/oil smell just after startup

Hi all,

On a few weeks ago i was on an EZY "Bus" to Malaga from Stansted. Just after startup i noticed a strange fuel/oil smell which only lasted for about 3-5 seconds but smelt pretty good!

On the return flight i could again, right after startup smell something which smelt like fuel/oil

Now, i only know the basics about flying and i'm not very technical with all the systems, etc....

So, could anyone please explain to me what this smell was?
