Certain disinfectants. The smell reminds me of school.
That and cabbage. Every school hade the aroma of cabbage.
Lavender and Lilley of the valley.
A lot of the older generation when I was very young used to wear these scents.
Petrol. My Dad owned a van and us kids would sit in the back. There seemed a constant smell of it.
Paraffin. Back in the days before we had central heating we had Paraffin fires all over the house during the winter.
Same with coal or coke open fires.
Lost count of the times the wind would howl down the chimney and fill the place with the smell of soot.

I don't think the schools have cabbage anymore.
We also had paraffin heaters, the smell is distinct. @Picklebobble2
