Seeing we have sounds of the past..why not smells of your youth or past..
I am not talking about Uncle Ben..
My dad made the best Northern Bean and Ham Hock & Onion casserole piping hot from the oven you could smell it for miles.
My mother would make the best mince meat pie with cinnamon. (No meat) This was a mix of raisins & dates figs dried fruit and spices you preheated in a double boiler and then baked in a pie shell.. the aroma of the spices and cinnamon........ I am drooling thinking about it !
The old nasty German Cigars all of my Uncles smoked, I really miss that stench.........LOL
Dad would take me fishing with him in the summer along the Platte River when I was a young boy. We would fish for catfish and bullheads along the riverbank with throw lines at night. This wasn’t so bad except putting the bait on the hooks. Wow,,,, this was a smelly problem! We used chicken guts that were soaked for several sunny days in a glass jar filled with chicken blood. PU you didn’t want to be downwind from that jar when it was opened.
Not something I like to remember, but our elementary school had three huge plots of grass. Everyone had to walk and sit on it. I dislike the smell of grass, but that's what everyone reeked of. The next thing would be the flowers (I don't know what type we grew up with, but they look kind of like mini chrysanthemums), which had a strange sticky and sticky scent. They grew on one of the plots of grass.
I'm loving this thread and everyone's childhood memories!
Here are some of mine:
The pine-scented bathroom cleaner my mother used.
Bactine, the first aid antiseptic.
The warm, oily sweet scent from the motor of my mother's electric mixer when she was baking a cake.
That raspberry air freshener cake they used in gas station toilets.
The tart-sweet vinyl scent of a new doll.
The clean leather and polish aroma that new shoes had.
Cashmere Bouquet, Lux and Palmolive soaps
The scent of Clorets chlorophyll gum, which it seemed every lady of a certain age carried in her purse along with a lace hankie.
The burnt-sugar smell of cotton candy at the fair.
Smells of your Childhood...... Sitting a row boat in the mild of a swamp 45 degrees age 5 with both my parents and a wet dog duck hunting.. Some unique smells of the swamp..the best smell was when my mother opened up the thermostat and poured out the hot cocoa. The dog wet & cold had more than a damp dog smell
As kids, during the wintertime we had warming clothing; most of it was made of wool. Oh goodness how those cloths stunk when wet with snow or rain. {{{{PU}}}} We had a coatroom in grade school and with all of those items hanging up while kids were in the classroom it was impossible to go in there without getting sick.
