What smell reminds you most of your childhood?
« on: November 09, 2017, 05:32:05 am »
Sometimes a certain smell hits you and takes you back to a time of your past.  Please take the time to think of a smell that reminds you of your childhood.

For me the smell of Jergens Cherry Almond hand lotion takes me back to the simpler times of my childhood.

I came from Lebanon so the smell of fresh homemade bread is the one thing that reminds of my childhood.  My mom, aunt and grandma used to once a week make homemade bread on open fire outside and smell was unreal.  I miss those days.

If county fairs and carnivals have a smell, that would be my childhood remembrance smell.  :binkybaby:

Tar from a freshly paved street.  It always brings me back to when I used to go down south to stay with my favorite cousins for the summer when I was a child.  The street they grew up on wasn't paved for a long time. It was basically a dirt road with rocks.  They finally paved it and when I smell tar it brings me back to those times.  I had so much fun playing and growing up with them.

The smell of Starbucks. Me and my dad would go there every Saturday. We had awesome bonding moments there.

The smell of freshly cut grass is one that does this for me.

Chlorine! I was a swimmer and I was always in the pool. I can't help but daydream a little when I get a little whiff of it. It definitely takes me back.

The smell of powder reminds me of my great grandfather and the wonderful visits that I was so blessed  to have with him during my early childhood.
