A mention of perfumes on another thread made me think

LouLou perfume reminds me of being pregnant, everyone wore it and I used to gag.
Body Shop fuzzy peach reminds me of my mum.
Coconut moisturiser reminds me of holidays in Portugal.
Comfort fabric softener reminds me of my ex mil, her washing was always hanging in the hall
The smell of new carpet reminds me of when I moved into this house.
Adidas deodorant was always I'm my house when my boys were teenagers
I could go on and on :)
 
Coconut moisturisers remind me of beach holidays.
The smell of paper and pencils remind me of school.
 
Old Holborn tobacco reminds me of my Dad.
Body shop vanilla reminds me of someone I used to know. I tried to like her, but that horrid perfume always made me retch.
 
Lavender water always reminds me of my nan :)

I still love the smell of lavender to this day.
 
Cool waters for women reminds me of my rebellious teenage years. I wore others but that takes me back.

Baby lotion reminds me of my Grandad, he always puts it on after having a shave.

Redbull (gags) reminds me of a bar I use to work at that sold vodka redbull fishbowls.

Sickly aftershaves (joop, jpg) also make me gag all the lads at school coating themselves in them.
