Scents and smells from childhood no more .... What are your memories?

I miss the smell of the farm and an only get that smell if I go back to the place I smelt them for there are no farmes around here. and flowers used to smell good very hard to find any that have a sent now even th4e roses ya have to get right on them to smell them.

Yes, I remember some scents from my childhood...some of them I can't really place. Sometimes I get a whiff of a similar scent and before I try to figure out where it's coming from and how I remember it, it's gone. But I remember the scent of an eraser that I had..lol and a special arabic dish that my mother would make. And the smell of the desert (I grew up in the Middle East)...and lol...the smell of my water bottle that I took one year of kindergarten! It's years since I've been to the place that I grew up at. But I used to spend my vacations in India...and I miss all the smells that I experienced there during harvest time. We don't have the paddy fields anymore...and so there's no harvesting...so no fresh cowdung smearing...and no separating the grain....and no cooking it to separate the husk...nothing's there anymore.

there are many i guess. in taht house where i lived there were lily flowers taht i loved so much the mild smell. there is one lavender dew soap i liked taht time. now that is no more available there.

take me back to 'south dakota and the farm and the scents of Lilacs and honeysuckle and apple trees in bloom those heavenly scents from home. oh we have orange trees here and jasmine and gardenias as its southern california but those other scents were the sc ents of my child hood.

Yes when i was about 5 when i still lived in Morayfield, there was mango trees everywhere(the good kind, the ones that dont stink). Now we have moved and live right next to a main road and all i smell are car fumes. I miss the mangos hugely.
