Default Smells = Association

Standing in the teabay in work today I noticed a bottle of White Musk had a wee sniff and was immediately transported back to being 18 & being in Kilmarnock with a lovely young lady

It started a discussion on how smells evoke strong memories, so what aromas bring back memories for you guys?

Tomatoes

A quick sniff reminds me of my Grandfathers greenhouse, happy days.

I prefer the smell of 'White Linen' that's the smell of a few happy Saturday nights

Ha! Yorkies veggie fat van... always makes me want fish and chips when ever he's arriving/leaving.

Not so much a memory associated with it but my mood genuinely improves when I smell chopped timber.
