When i was little my great grandma i think it was gave me a little beaded wallet purse thing that was blue and i held my coins in it i don't think i ever remember meeting her i was too little, but that purse smelled like a mix of coin metal and slight perfume i could never quite place. I would sit on my bedroom floor with the purse i really loved the smell of it and it just now went missing in the move from my house to this one. I was really sad i will never get to enjoy the purse again
Another smell i noticed throughout my childhood and even bow that i really love is vanilla bean so really strong vanilla i had a couple toys that for some reason smelled of vanilla i don't even remember the toys but the smell was awesome i always have loved that smell and now i have vanilla spray and lotion stuff.
The smell of Just blown out candles.. Makes me want cake and ice cream and presents. Defiantly Brings back birthday memories be my bday or someone Else's just I've the smell of blown out candles.
I actually have a lot of smells that spark memories some of them are sad like the smell of stale cigarettes remind me of my dad who smoked constantly i know it sounds like a bad smell but not really just was how he smelled. and etc etc

Blown out candles. Now that is one of the most amazing smells on the planet! I agree with you fully on that one.
I really like the range to the stories your share. The one about the coin purse is very sweet. The smell of coins is very distinctive. Your associations about candles and parties is also very cool. Sharing about your Dad and cigarette smell is honest and real. Even though I gave up smoking years ago, every one in a while, I catch a whiff of one on a warm summer day and it smells like perfection.
