Our olfactory glands have the strongest power to evoke nostalgia. What is your favorite smell that brings back memories?
Mine is the smell of baking yams. It reminds me of my grandmother's house. I also have a distinct memory of the smell of first grade. It was the smell of my school.....a totaly indescribable aroma...a mix of crayons, wood, pencils, books, all mixed together.

The smell of fresh cut grass...reminds me of being a kid and playing on the swingset with my sister while my dad mowed the lawn

Re: What is your favorite aroma?
haven't smelled it in 20 years or so... but the smell of my grandma's apartment building. It had a very distinct smell..... sort of a combo of antique wood and the concrete underneath the terrazzo flooring in the hallway.
That aroma makes me think of family and germany overall......

I love the smell of my moms baking bread
I also love in the fall when it is just about to get cold and someone walks by me with a cigarette it reminds me of Italy and walking through the streets of rome... it doesnt smell good but it brings me back to one of the happiest years of my life...
