Wet asphalt (reminds me of childhood trips), the inside of a recently depleted Coke in a glass bottle, top shelf bourbon, and the grass, beer and BBQ smell that hits you when you step out of the concourse into a football stadium before kickoff.

Fresh ground coffe, machine shops, bondo, red cedar.

"It has also been established that smells can trigger memories, good or bad, of events long ago."

As for memories triggered by smells. I will never forget waking up in the tent, in the infield at Darlington, Labor Day weekend. The smell of coffee, eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes wafting through the air was fabulous.

Coffee.

I had a large patch of gill-over-the-ground under an oak at a house I used to own. Whenever I mowed that area, the scent was divine.

Well,
I'm genetically anomsic (I don't have a sense of smell).

I occasionally can sense a change in air texture or weight and then when someone says "Can you smell that!" I say
"Yeah, sorta".....

Then I wait for them to tell me if it's good (like flowers) or bad (like gangrene). :)

Otherwise, if you come to my house and smell something bad, please tell me...thank you.
