What smell brings back a good memory?

Question

what was the memory attached to the smell?

Answer 1

Corn bread baking in the oven. This is just a childhood memory. My mom always made a bread of some sort to stretch out meals (I have 7 brothers and sisters). And I just love the smell it brings back great memories!!

Answer 2

LILAC

In the village where I grew up, there was a house next door that had a large lilac bush~a tree really, at least 15 feet high perhaps more~with the color of blossoms that ARE lilac. The branches arched over so that the ends of the branches touched the ground, leaving a space beneath that became my special hiding place. With a book and/or comics in hand, I would climb in under the branches and sit with my back against the trunk. If it was breezy, I would be showered with little pale lavender blossoms. I buy room spray in lilac, and it always makes me think of being a child under that tree.

My mom said that she plans to plant a white lilac, perhaps in the spring, near my bedroom window. Sadly, we lost a mimosa that we had had for awhile~too long a drought one year. But, maybe we can raise a strong lilac though it will take way too long to match that old tree for me to plan any expeditions Underneath.
