Flowering catalpa trees in the spring...
My moms pumpkin pies
Love's Baby Soft Perfume
That awful smell piney/sweet smell when the school janitor sprinkled something on the floor when a student threw up...
A freshly bathed baby with baby lotion on...
Fresh brewed coffee
And a smell that I can't forget...and could not stand...when my mother in law cooked beef kidneys for my husband. I guess it was something he liked growing up so she fixed it for him once when we visited. The whole house had a distinct aroma of urine.
Oh, the pumpkin pie memory has my mouth watering right now!
Yep, I remember Love's baby Soft (and the smell).
Yes, new babies freshly bathed, I, too, loved that scent!
Also remember the strong ammonia odour that rubber pants used to get. Once the pants started stinking, no amount of washing or bleaching would get that strong odour out, and the odour got even worse when the pants would get stained after a heavy soiling - like after a bout with diarrhea.
The stinky rubber pants smell I remember most from babysitting. At homes where the moms neglected changing-out the pants regularly for fresh ones at diaper-time, it was those homes where the rubber pants smelled the worst. When helping my mom with baby sibs, we always changed the rubber pants regularly. Every 3-4 diapers that we changed, the rubber pants got changed, too. Into the diaper pail they went, and even then the pants still carried an odour.
Yucky... I can't imagine preparing something that would stink up the house, and then sitting down to eat it.
