Scents that take you back


Recommended Posts

That pink medicine what you had when you were a kid.

almondy cocktail cherries in lemonade. This last christmas, I had to buy a jar and stick them on cocktail sticks and put them in my lemonade. It really took me back to when my nanan n grandad used to take me to the working mens club, when i was little.

There's a cheap shampoo smell, no particular brand it appears in a few, and it's not in any brand we buy.

 

Once or twice a year I'll be in a hotel taking a shower, I'll open a shampoo capsule and wham ... the smell takes me back to the actual moment that I'm curled up in my mum and dad's shower cubicle, sobbing after I've just discovered my first girlfriend in bed with another bloke!

The smell of glaiced cherries/cherry gataux - it reminds me of when I threw it up when I was 5 after eating large quantities of it.

 

Joop! Jump reminds me of a friend who I was very close to for a number of my young teenage years.

 

Gucci Rush reminds me of when I was a slightly older teenager and we used to spray ourselves with it to cover the smell of alcohol so our parents wouldn't smell it!
