Smells that evoke memories.

certain hair products..

there's this one hair gel that is pretty consistent in reminding me of my grandma and my aunts for some unexplained reason. I wanna say Ampro, but I might be inaccurate on that front.

Another line of products is just really smelly... At first, it takes my memory to an age when I felt unstoppable - I think maybe in my late teens, or around 20. But the smell is very strong/gets old so I don't use that one very much. It's called Aveda, and it's reasonably popular. There are stores in the malls for it, and people seem to like it, but I think it's more geared toward its female clientele; though the men's line is what I have experienced.

 

We have that in the UK.
It has a strong smell for sure.

The smell of the ocean is a positive one for me, very calming.

 

You are not that far away Zen.
Maybe I could bottle that smell and send it.

 

Our beaches are open.
I am fussy with perfume, I only wear Dolce and Gabanna. I know I have expensive tastes in some things. I do drink cheap wine if that helps. Lol

 

Cheap wind? LOL
I'm not a fan of perfumes and colognes. A little goes a long way.
I use a liquid body wash that reminds me of my dad's aftershave. I find it comforting.

 

OMG WINE. lol

Our parents are always with us, somewhere. xxx

 

Wet dog reminds me of my dog as a child.
He went deaf, and my friends dog blind, they would always wade in the sea and just bark.

 

The smell of wine and Frixday. Mmmmmm

 

The slightly musty smell from inside a tent or popup camper, mixed with the fresh scent of the cool air in the woods. Add early evening and the sound of a zipper from the entrance or a sleeping bag and I'm 4 years old again realizing how much I love that stuff all over again.

 

Oh yes camping has a certain smell.
I do love the posts on this thread.

 

The smell of this stuff reminds me of the boarding school I was sent to in my early teens. This brand of lip balm was what the student store had for chapped lips.



I remember too a wilderness excursion taken to San Gorgonio during that stay. My Carmex got a little melty in its container... Anyway, it has a distinct smell.

 

Not sure I know that smell.
But see what smells can evoke in us all?

 

indeed...

 

I like the smell of new leather, it reminds me of my Dad's car.
But in Canterbury, there was a tanning factory, the smell was awful!

 

Paper mill. Worst smell in the world other than a pig farm. Reminds me to hold my breath as long as I can.

 

Every time I smell a cow pat I will be reminded of DiscloseTV.

 

What is Disclose TV? A British show?

 

DiscloseTV is a conspiracy theory website. They go too overboard. A recent article suggests that Bill Gates created Covid-19 to get microchips implanted in us all.​
