Smells that evoke memories

Standing in the pits when they fire up the funny cars and dragsters...ahhh...the burning of my sinuses and watering of my eyes...wonderful.

Also, the smell of jet exhaust...brings back memories of my jet engine mechanic days.

BOB......you're hysterical!  

The smell of liquorice reminds me of my dad. (R.I.P.)

I have this perfum i love and every time i wear it someone always comes up to me and ask what it is beacuse it reminds them of something from there childhood??I havent figured it out yet but loveit,,lol

Do you ladies remember the smell of a new doll on Christmas morning?  I've smelled many things over the years with that same plasticy smell, and it's what always comes to mind.

Horses, hot in from a run, the scent of their breath and saddle soap from the leather girth and bridle. On the North Mountain above the Bay of Fundy, laundry pegged & hung in the landward wind on a line made of sisal rope with a forked red osier willow for the prop in the middle, which swayed back and forth. Haymows, where the loft is warm and fragrant and  pigeons and swallows fly in and out of the open windows.. milky smell of newborn kittens found tucked in a round nest between the bales, peonies on a summer evening and petunias and lobelia in hanging baskets.

and, whatever fuel mixture they used for the model airplanes when I was a kid..( 40's).the planes handheld by wires and I can still see the men flip the prop to get the engine started..and the blue smoke and droning of the little plane circling our field.
