I know this is going to sound gross but for some reason I love the smell of a farm. Anytime we drive by one in the summer and the windows are down I tell my husband that I love it. He says I'm gross I

While I may not love it, the smell of cattle reminds me of my DDaddy. Good memories. Love you Dad!

2 of my kids love the smell of both gasoline and new tires. i hate both, but most especially the tires. Walking into Firestone gives me an instant headache and I rarely get headaches.

That swampy, marshland smell...i start to smell it near the GA/FL border. It reminds me of all the vacations from when I was a kid and we’d drive to FL to visit my grand parents. My husband thinks I’m crazy, since it technically smells like rotten eggs!

This is oddly specific, but the smell of the soap at the hospital where I had my kids. Something about that particular smell instantly transports me back to that time when I was having my babies. I’ve only smelled it a few times since, when visiting someone who had a baby at the same hospital. I know the smell of soap itself isn’t “weird,” but I think my strong memory sense of it is kind of funny.

Reminds me of how I use to live, out in the country. I hope to be back some day, this town/city living is for the birds, LOL.

OMG yes this! Not soap, but the brand of baby wipes they provided in the hospital. Takes me right back. They do say the the sense of smell is the strongest trigger of memory of all the senses.

I love the smell of dog's paws

Adding to the dog smell - my dog when she has that wet dog smell. I just love her so much and she doesn't smell all the time so her wet dog/fur smell makes me happy.

Gasoline
Rubber Cement
Fresh box of crayons
Old books

The weird plastic smell. It is hard to describe really but sometimes I smell it on plastic stuff.

I totally believe this. I'm "triggered" by scents that evoke both good and bad memories.

Skunks

the smell of smoke. I'll never smoke, because it's never appealed to me, but their's been plenty of times where I have visited places just because you can smell smoke their.
