Nostalgic Smells?

Cotton Candy. The fun days at the fairs.

Yes from the scent of a perfume my mother usually use

I remember the smell of exhaust in England lol! It was my first trip abroad and my Honeymoon... Of all things to form a memory!!

For me, it's campfires. Growing up, my family used to go camping all the time, but our favorite camping trip of the year was over Thanksgiving week, when we would spend 9 days camping in the forest. We would always cook a turkey over the campfire, and many years we would also have venison (my dad did a lot of hunting). Any time I smell a campfire, it always brings back those wonderful memories of camping with my parents.

Interesting, as certain times a smell of gas will bring back memories for me too, but I never considered it might be diesel gas. Although, I wasn't around truck stops when young, but maybe the smell of diesel is similar to what leaded gas used to smell like. It does prod my memory bank, but no memory comes out of it and that may be because it's mainly the smell I remember and not necessarily a place associated with it. I also lived when each customer rarely pumped their own gas. Speedways and BP's and Marathon's, and Shell stations weren't all over the place back then. I think over all it was mostly mom and pop places and they always had someone come out to pump the gas. I'm sure other smells bring back memories, but not as often as the gas one. What about after a long spring rain and the smell of worms all over the sidewalks? I have no event to place with that, but I do know it doesn't happen as much as it did when I was younger.

@isweartokira The smell of harvested paddy crop.It takes me back to the sweet memories of my childhood.

I smell of lilacs in the Spring used to bring back a lot of good memories, but I have lost my sense of smell a few years back and unfortunately, can't have those memories/smell anymore.

Freshly ploughed ground reminds me of our farm and taking lunch out to my father in the paddocks.

Hi I can relate to that mine is if I smell ham. My grandmother used to marinate ham for a month b4 christmas and cooked it at christmas morning and i grew up with this so everytime i smell ham i always say it smells like christmas and brought me also memories of my grandmother.
