Never did cotton to cotton candy. Get it. Those little shreds always went up my nose.

For some reason, the smell of Play-Doh has always made me gag.

 

[hollydolly]

yes that's the other thing that always reminds me of Chiddhood... my friend had Play doh, and I would go to her house, she lived on the top floor of a 20 storey high rise... on a rainy day so we could stay indoors and play with it.... I loved the smell

Turkey stuffing, the ocean and peanut butter.

[Tommy]

Beach wrack.

A cake baked by my mother and the smell when walking inside the house. It didn't matter what kind of cake, just the smell knowing it would be tasty after dinner.

 

[Della]

That plastic smell from those blow-up toys. I had a blow-up plastic penguin in my crib that I loved for some reason. Sort of like those baby monkeys with their wire mothers.

 

[Beezer]

The smell of Silly Putty!

As a kid, I remember waking up to the smell of "perked" coffee. Whenever I smell that particular smell of coffee, it brings me right back to being 10.

 

[Paco Dennis]

Baby powder....

 

[Beezer]

My Grandfather's pipe tobacco.

 

[PeppermintPatty]

I loved the smell of play doh, cotton candy at the fairs, tar on the railway tracks, books at the library, the smell of laundry handing on the line, baked goods my mother would make or one of the neighbours, fresh cut grass. There are many scents I like loved when I was a kid.
I might add some as the day wears on.

 

[MACKTEXAS]

Honeysuckle. A lot of it grew right outside our back door when I was young, growing up.

Hot asphalt.
