This week a Post on my Yard & Garden site was "Oh, that Lilac Smell!!" if you have time view the photos on the Site (link above) and read why I like the smell. Lilacs are one of my favorite Garden fragrance. It takes me back to my childhood memories. So here is your Question:
What is the Smell that takes you back to your childhood years?
Want to participate in Aloha Friday go to An Island Life, there you can visit others and join in.
That's a good one.. Probably Chlorine, since we spent SOOOO Much time in the darn pool. lol
ReplyDeleteFresh mowed lawn. Not really sure why, but every time I smell it I have a flash back.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Lisa C, Chlorine or hamburgers grilling would be the smells from my childhood.
ReplyDeleteThe lilacs sitting in front of me right now :)
ReplyDeleteIt would have to be chocolate chip cookies - my mom baked them all the time and they were the best!
ReplyDeleteIt kind of a smell ---- sound -- I love when the fan is in the window and the grass if freshly cut.
ReplyDeletechocolate chocolate chip brownies... my mom was always baking
ReplyDeleteChlorine. I spent a lot of time in pools.
ReplyDeletePerked coffee is forever my grandmother. She no longer drinks coffee (only my Hubby does in my family) but that smell is Grandma.
ReplyDeleteAhhh the smell of fresh cut grass!
ReplyDeleteGardenias since that is what my grandmother grew in her yard
ReplyDeletehmmm...the smell of chocolate chip cookies baking in the oven!
ReplyDeleteI know it sounds cheesy! LOL
My mother's perfume. She's wore the same brand for years. My Aloha Friday
ReplyDeleteBeing outside and smelling fresh laundry coming from that shoot on the side of the house. I LOVE that smell.
ReplyDeletePlaydough. God I used to love that stuff. My mom did not let us have any, so I would always have to go over to friends' houses if I wanted to play with it.
ReplyDeleteFor me its lilac also. My next door neighbor had a giant bush and allowed us to take as much as we wanted.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite smells is the smell of the ice arena at Bowling Green State University -- part refrigerant, part something else. Oh, I loved to walk in the arena and inhale deeply...
ReplyDeleteOkay, about that Paid EC ad? I totally agree, and as someone who writes about rock stars and the rock and roll world, that's saying a lot. (and apparently, the forums are open to everyone again. how nice.)
My mom was always baking when I was growing up so when I smell cookies and/or cakes cooking, ahhh I just love it.
ReplyDeleteProbably the smell of Johnson's baby cologne. It reminds me of my younger years because my mom always applied it on me.
ReplyDeleteProbably freshly baked cookies - reminds me of my grandmother's house.
