Just been doing the washing up, and my other half has bought Tesco's own Lime and Ginger washing up liquid. Wow, that stuff smells gorgeous. Almost makes your mouth water!
Anyway, it got me thinking about how certain scents and smells can trigger memories. The smell of two-stroke oil takes me straight back to the late 70's when I first got into bikes, for example.
So what smells trigger particular memories for you?
The perfume Eternity for Women - my first 'proper' girlfriend :inlove:
A freshly mown lawn - happy summers.
Every time I smell or think of those early 80's staple aftershaves (Korous, Paco Rabanne etc) it brings a smile to my face
Harry
Bodyshop Coconut body butter.
Reminds me of our first meet with a lady :twisted:
A lady i had a holiday/long distance romance with in my youth used to scent the paper she wrote her letters on. Now i have no idea what it was i only wish i did but when i get a smell of it it take me right back to that time.
I was rather sad when we stopped and i allways think of her when i smell it and wonder where and what she is doing now.
Petrol and two stroke oil does wonders for memories of drag racing and road races in my youth.
cut grass
bonfires
dry earth after the rain
a baby's head.
my favourrite perfume, Cinema by YSL.
Another vote for Castrol - 2 strokes - avgas - in fact the race paddock full stop.
Other than that Honey and Oatmeal Tigi Shampoo - Yummmm
