I love the smell of my six year old DD especially her hair, I don't like it when it's just been washed as it doesn't smell of her. I can tell when she's unwell from her smell.

I also love the smell of smoke from bonfires or domestic coal or wood burning stoves, they remind me of childhood for some reason and being comfortable and happy.

Wild garlic. We have loads grow round here and I love driving past woods and denes and getting a lovely whiff of it

Loads which have already been mentioned but I love the smell of 'cold' from someone who has just been in it. And the smell of really hot water from the bath tap - the kettle doesn't cut it

I'd forgotten about my dogs paw smell, I used to love it they were like popcorn. When I have popcorn now it reminds me of her.

Also Christmas Trees like someone said, takes me right back to childhood.
