Smells and memories

A neighbour has a coal fire: the smell transported me back to my childhood in the '60's.
What smells have such an evocative effect on you?

It's kinda silly, but whenever I go to White Castle, the smell reminds me of a county fair. It reminds me of me and my brothers piling into the back of the station wagon, and Dad driving for hours, taking us all to the state fair.

@AbbeyRhode I don't know where White Castle is, but I know smalltown America and can imagine your excitement: looking forward to candyfloss, and hotdogs and rides: knowing you are safe, feeling loved, with Momma and Poppa to look after you! A lovely memory.XXXXX
