Also Lilac Bushes! We had those in our yard growing up, and my sister and I used to pick them all the time-we loved the smell..........

        Pine tree and garlands at Christmas!!  My mother was really into decorating at holiday time.  All greens were orderd early, were real and were placed in living room and dining room. Loved going into the rooms the morning after tree and garlands were hung!  Scent was delicious.

       Now, every time I smell it, memories flood back!

Re: What's A Smell That Evokes a Memory

A pizzeria brings back memories of my first boyfriend who worked in one.  I was 15 years old.  I used to meet him at the pizzeria and wait for him to get off his shift.  To this day, when I walk into a pizzeria and that first whif of pizza cooking in the ovens just takes me back to 1977.

Agree!  I grew up with lilac bushes and lily of the valley....my mother's favorite perfume scent was Lily of the Valley.
