My mom's carrot cake baking. Always reminds me of our traditional thanksgivings that my mom makes. Certain smells remind me of my grandmother's apartment, although I can not pin-point exactly what it is. Of course, the smell of new plastic (backpacks, school bags), always brings me back to elementary school.

The spicy smells of fall and the "warm" smells of winter....pumpkin spice candles, cranberry candles, cookies, and OLD SCHOOL downy fabric softener

Baby powder reminds me of my childhood because this little girl next door to me would always take the baby powder and throw it in the air and tell everyone it was snowing in the middle of july and guess what we all believed her..... wow those were the days!

Good question, honestly I can't think of anything.

Maybe my Mom's perfume, yes, my mom's perfume.

Spaghetti sauce simmering reminds me of Sundays after church.

BBQ chicken reminds me of the night before the first day of school. My mom would always make bbq chicken while we took our baths and took our nail polish from the summer off.

Lysol original scent...she sprayed this on our sheets all the time and just brings back childhood memories.

Brownies baking..always reminded me of freezing, cold nights when she would open the oven and pop in brownies while we did our homework or played a board game.

The scent of smell is so strong and always brings back the most wonderful memories!

me too, I won't even realize that a certain scent will evoke a memory until it happens and then takes me right back.

But I can think of three-

Aramis Cologne- reminds me of going to family occasions as a child. Its the only time my father would wear it.

Sauteeing onions and butter - my father making stuffing for thanksgiving on turkey day eve.

Peppermint Life Savers - Still my favorite they remind me of my grandmothers purse. She would always sneak us some and when she gave me her hankerchief it always smelled like the mints. I remember there wasn't much else in there either, maybe a lipstick, a few bucks in a change purse, and rosary beads.
makes me wonder why I need all the crap I carry around in my own bag.

Fluffer-nutters! Mom would only buy fluff once in a blue moon, she didn't like letting me ingest that much sugar regularly. Chat Icon

Also, the smell of Pledge. Mom did all her cleaning on Saturday mornings.

Ditto for sauce and meatballs.

And coal. We had a coal-burning stove in our living room. I loved falling asleep on the floor in front of it.

There's probably tons of things but LIME is what popped into my head first. When my sister & I were little we were playing supermarket with a neighbor and his mother had a lime tree. We were "ringing up" the limes but shooting them down the slide of his play set. Chat Icon

Gasoline.

My father put in Gas Stations so the smell always reminds me of when he first would come home from work and we would hug him.
