I'm with you. Christmas tree smells remind me of my young childhood--until I was around 7, when we got an artificial tree.
The smell of Carmex reminds me of when I worked in Yellowstone National Park for 3 summers in the late 80's.
The smell of vinegar reminds me of driving past the Heinz plant on Pittsburgh's North Side on the days they were making pickles.
The smell of Aqua Net reminds me of my mom and her teased hairdos that she wore in the 70's and 80's.
Christian Dior's Eau Sauvage cologne takes me back to my college years 1985-89.
"New clothes smell" reminds me of the first day of school, when the kids in elementary school always wore new clothes the first day.

I know it sounds wierd, but there is a certain smell when you go into an elementary school. I never noticed it before, but I recently went into a school and the smell brought back all kinds of memories. Strange what things your brain stores....

There was a distinctive smell of heat, and an ice box in Grandma's back porch. A strange odor. Once in a while, I smell that, unexpectedly, and am instantly transported to Grandma's porch.

It's really a stupid thing to say, but my Mother and I had to ride the Greyhound bus weekly, and the smell of the fumes from the bus reminds me of that.

Purple clover. It used to grow in the fields around my grandmother's house and the aroma always takes me back.

Fabric softner. I'm not sure what kind it is yet but when I smell it, it reminds me of my grandma which is comforting in it's own way.
