What are your most powerful "smell memories"?

Asked by McBean (1703points) August 30th, 2008

Different smells evoke different emotional anchors in people, depending on their past experiences.

I’m not sure what GenX’ers are anchored to, but Baby boomers are supposed to sigh over the smells of Play Dough, vinyl records, and cotton candy, while the generation before will connect with the smells of kerosene and pine trees.

Are there any smells that take you right back to your childhood? How do you feel when you smell them?
