automatic bzooty · 07.22.2010, 01:05 AM

actually... yeah... i like the smell of smoke too. cigarette smoke. a lot of people think it's a bad scent but it makes me kind of... nostalgic/homesick/etc. huh.

automatic bzooty · 07.22.2010, 01:08 AM

I can never pin down my favorite smells to particular causes and I always forget what those smells smell like until I smell them again. Once I do, a flood of memories. Life's worth living just for those moments.

terriblecanyons · 07.22.2010, 05:22 AM

my sunglasses case
brand new shoes
my guitar case
cold air
wet grass

Something like this happened to me recently,walking past a metal recycling plant,the smell,as you say unlocked a flood of memories,details of the source long forgotton,maybe it was like an aromatic deja vu,(do i need help?),i guess some songs do the same thing some times,transport you back.Maybe i should consult some vast psychology tome on smells and their effects on triggering memories.

SONIC GAIL · 07.22.2010, 08:47 AM

Smells bring back more memories to me than anything. I have some of my moms old perfume and I spray it once in awhile so I am able to remember her better. It hasbeen 13 yaers now since her death. Her face fades out of my memory.

phoenix · 07.22.2010, 08:59 AM
