umm.... the smell of a man that just finished working on a car. Reminds me of my first love in high school. Or how about the cologne Tommy or Polo. Reminds me of him too.

Its "Fahrenheit", a doctor was wearing it when I was in hospital, with a severely burnt leg.I was 4, and I couldn't speak English then, only Greek and he would smile and pat me and make reassuring sounds.I had 3 (failed) skin grafts,and was tied up to prevent me scratching it. I was 4 yrs old.
