For me, it's the smell of Chanel No. 5 that my grandma wore, and Wrigley's Spearmint Gum that she ALWAYS had in her purse. I always have to have some in my purse too because of that.

Re: What smell reminds you of someone you love??
Thu, December 11, 2008 - 7:15 AMMy grandmother was this warm, soft powdery scent.
My dad was something like chaps or stetson with tobacco; in the early 70s he wore old spice so i really do like that scent.
The hubby is musk. and a really clean lemongrass/bay/clove scent depending on what scent his soap is.

Re: What smell reminds you of someone you love??
Thu, December 11, 2008 - 11:02 AMWonderful topic! I'm such an olfactory person that there are about a million scents that trigger memories in me of people I love ...some of those scents are just natural, clean body smells (pheromones) that all people have...but actual fragrances...
An old boyfriend of mine used to wear Brut, so I love that smell. Some of the fragrances I personally enjoy on myself come from having smelled them on beloved others...patchouli and amber are the two I think of most readily. Bay Rum reminds me of grandfathers and great uncles long departed....
There are more, but I'll have to think about it for a bit.

My mom was a chef, and she loves to bake. She also wore Shalimar for high end occassions, which also has the rich vanilla scent to it.

Sun, December 28, 2008 - 10:19 PMPolo has a wonderful memory of a past love. Currently, there is a distinct scent but I am not sure what it is yet. Some kind of incense.
