mat_the_cat Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Eden perfume (reminds me of the first girl I fancied, but alas it was unrequited)Cut grassPine wood smoke (reminds me of adolescence when we used to go camping in the woods and get drunk around a fire - spoilt on one occasion by someone putting their torch on the fire. Exploding batteries in a metal tube, surrounded by red-hot embers made for a rather dangerous makeshift mortar. The tents did not fare too well.)Freshly baked breadThe smell of my Stellar on a hot day - that smell of cheap plastics and dubious Korean adhesives takes me right back 20 years to that first summer of freedom after I passed my test) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_70s Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 My Dolomite 1300's interior on a warm day. Sort of a mix of wood, vinyl, petrol and burnt oil. Nothing feels more like home than that car.Freshly cut grass.Sea air on a cool day.Petrol.Licorice.Model making glues.The inside of a box of Tic-Tacs after you've eaten all the Tic-Tacs but have kept the box with the lid closed so you can go back for a hit of pasticy-mint...
