weird starting problem V70-XC70 1998

I have this weird starting problem with my 1998 V70 GLT:
- when starting it for the first time in the morning, no problem
- when doing a hot start, no problem
- when I start after having it parked somewhere for more than 45 minutes, it takes it 4 to 5 seconds to start, then the engine has hesitations for 2-3 more seconds. You can also smell gasoline around the car.

Any idea?

Some info on the car:
- battery brand new, fully tested -> no problem
- alternator tested by myself and a mechanic -> no problem
- spark plugs + fuel filter changed at 62000 miles
- car has currently 86000 miles

Thanks!

Sylphe
