The scent of magnolia flowers reminds me of playing in my parents front yard in the summers of grade school and smelling the magnolias that fell of the tree.
Old Spice reminds me of the BF. I love that smell!
Old Spice reminds me of my dad.
The original Polo Ralph Lauren scent reminds me of my dad. He always wears it when he goes somewhere nice. I remember when he and my mom were still married, they'd go out on a date night a couple of times a month. The bathroom would always smell like Polo while they were getting ready. He still wears it, it's my favorite men's cologne.
With us it was Drakkar Noir, (I graduated in 93, so keep that in mind)...then we got into Calvin Klein or Polo. I went through this odd, redneck preppy stage. Denim shorts with a tucked in Polo or silk shirt and a mullet. Ahhh...the late 80's, early 90's!
My grandmother always used Eterna 27 face cream for her very dry skin. I recently bought some hoping that it would work for me...and when I first put it on my face...it was like my Nana was right there...seriously...such a strong smell recognition. I told my DH, "Honey...come here and smell this...I smell just like my grandmother!!!" He said that I had given him a great mental picture...and from then on he would feel like he was sleeping with my grandma!!! It was funny!!
