My parents used to give me spearmint gum when I was carsick. Spearmint now in ANY form makes me feel nauseous.

My friends used to spray White Linen perfume in the bathroom to mask the kitty litter tray. Now I've noticed some older ladies that smell like cat piss to mr

how about you?

Aveda hair stick reminds me of Hawaii
Calvin Klein eternity - my first girlfriend, neither is particularly nostalgic but one wiff and I get flashbacks.

Hmmm, I've noticed that but I've never had a friend who sprayed perfume on kitty litter!

Smells don't hold much association to things for me but my fiancee will often comment that a smell reminds her of something. Maybe it's a woman thing?

a dead body

I can't stand the smell of Lysol. We used to spray it liberally in the restrooms in the day program for seniors I used to work at. It would mix with the stench of emptied colostomy bags and other, equally revolting smells, and now Lysol in any form only makes me feel like there's an overwhelming air of shit around me.

I was looking after my brothers dog while he was on holiday once and it shit all over the kitchen and living room.
It was dhairrea(sp) too
I puked a couple of time while I was cleaning it up,it was vile.
Anyway I used a whole bottle of Shake and Vac for the living room carpet.To this day i still gag when i smell Shake an Vac

I wonder if it IS more strongly felt by women will have to research!

every sunday for as long as I can remember the smell of my moms perfume wakes me. my house smells like her getting ready for church and I know that is going to be really hard, that first sunday morning after she is gone and I don't smell that perfume.

Those of you in or around the military might get what I'm saying, but, kinda long story, I grew up an USAF brat, then joined the USNavy and married a sailor.

Military establishments have a certain smell. I think it's partly paint (because everything is painted over dozens of times), old furniture and old buildings. It ALMOST, smells like going into a dusty attic, or grandma's house.

I'm not around the military on a regular basis anymore, but, on occassion, go to military bases or functions. When I walk into the building it's like I'm a kid again. It brings back fond memories.
