I love how you hear or smell something and it takes you back! (Be prepared for me starting random posts like this ladies, my hubs is working away for the next 3 weeks haha)

Roxette - it must have been love
Michael Jackson - wanna be starting something..
Reminds me of my third birthday party outside on the bouncy castle with the BBQ going.

Chanel No5 reminds me of my nan.

Pack rabanne Black XS reminds me of an ex as I used to wear it all the time when I was with him! Can no longer smell it it makes me heave! (Sorry if you wear it hehe)
 
I stayed in a relatives house a few months ago where Iv not been for about 15+ yrs and it smelled exactly the same was amazing,
Brought back lovely memories

It was my great aunts house and she passed I over a yr ago so the smell brought back lovely childhood memories

Primark used to do a green body speitz called copa cobana (i think) & i wore that ALL way through my pregnancy so that reminds me of that. It only cost 99p at primark then when i ran out i searched all over Ebay for it & got robbed into payin £5 for it!

Also, Dova with cucumber deoderant reminds me of my sons labour :) soon as i had him the first thing i did was have a squirt of deoderant so i didnt smell lol

Aww that's lovely.. The getting ripped off part isn't though haha!
When I worked on make up counters, and things got discontinued some women used to literally cry or go mental because it held a special memory or they just felt they couldn't live without it!

Oops i meant Dove not Dova haha! But yeah i was probably the same as those women lol. I was willing to pay alot more than £5 if i'm honest lol as primark no longer sell it :( but the fact primark sold it for 99p made me feel robbed haha x
 
I use rose otto face cream and my kids obviously get a good whiff of it when I kiss them good night. They both say whenever they smell rose Turkish delight it reminds them of me :)
 
Whenever I smell mince cooking I think of my grandad and Stepnans house at Christmas time, it was magical there at Christmas xxx
 
Coal tar soap brings back memories of my dad.He was a heating engineer and plumber and would not get home till really late when I was a kid he would go and bath and then we would have a cuddle on the sofa he would then have his dinner,no microwaves so it was always a bit dried up as it was heated in the oven then he would carry me upto bed on his back.
Its my most favourite smell and it makes me smile because it holds happy memories.

I think people's houses do have their own signature smell.I think mines probably wet dog and stew.

Yes i don't know what the smell was just Ayee's smell, I brought the bed linen home to wash and I was so scared it was loose her smell but I could still smell it when I was ironing it all,

Must sound like a right weirdo but she was an amazing lady and it just brought back wonderful memories.

Hahahaaaa! I'm sure it doesn't! Although now I have a puppy always terrified it smells of fart and dog food! :/
 
My 11 year old daughter told me that her friends have said that our house smell is "nice and clean". (Theyve been discussing house smells). God knows how! I'm not a clean freak but we have no pets.
 
The smell of LouLou reminds me of pregnancy vomit.
I went out to the office Xmas meal and a girl sat next to me drenched in it. I could taste it in my food and again when it came back up :(
 
Robbie Williams millennium
my 13th birthday party because I got about 5 copies of this cd because every one knew I loved it

Karen millan cashmere mist
reminds me of my mummy, she only wears it when she goes out and she has been wearing it for years. It reminds me of when I was younger and I would smell it and instantly remember she was going out for the night with either my dad or her friends, when your little you have the memory of a goldfish!
