My Nanny smokes a lot and wears Beautiful by Estee Lauder which combine for a distinct smell. Our former receptionist also smoked (same brand) and wore Beautiful, every morning I thought my Nanny was in the office.

Nanny recently moved to assisted living and I inherited china and dining room furniture. Her cleaning products combined with the smoke in her house to make a unique smell. I despise the smell of smoke but right now the furniture in my garage waiting to be cleaned professionally is a comforting smell. It reminds me of her and my late Pawpaw. I am instantly back playing dominoes with them or watching Golden Girls and Newhart with Nanny.

Rosemary bushes reminds me of a Lowe's store. I worked through college at Lowe's and when we sold rosemary it over powered the store. We met some of our best friends there so it is a happy memory.

This isn't a smell but Doves singing remind me of spending the night at my Mammaw's as a kid. She has never had air conditioning so every morning the windows would be open and the birds singing.
