My old mum loved the smell of freesias and when I smell them I think of her.
The smell of books old or new is part of my lost pleasure in books.
I was in a car with my 9 year old grandson recently and his aroma was at the other end (so to speak) of the spectrum please note Flying Monkey.

I forgot to mention: love the "smell of winter coming".
Well, I think you can "smell" winter coming
, it's that day, late September, early October, when the air seems to take a new consistency, so to speak.
Not your usual damp and wet - that's here all year round in Scotland - but a new, fresh crispiness hinting of the winter months to come, of the promises brought by a new year soon to start.
This smell last maybe a few days, always puts me in a mood for Christmas baking.
It's probably just a barometer change, hinting of the heating bills to come

Ah the danger of separating the senses off into their own limited compartments Pat.

Oh, that nice smell that comes off clothes when you are ironing them. I hate ironing but the smell reminds me of being at my Nan's or my Aunt's when I was small.
