They smell you on things you touch, like a tv remote.
It reminds them of your hands, which probably makes them feel good because your hands pet them.
The rubbing against the face is enjoyable for the reason you already mentioned - they have glands on their faces that help them rub their scent on things, so it feels good to them when their faces are rubbed against. It’s an instinctive reaction.
