What smell hits right to your soul and takes you somewhere else?

I know the title probably sounds like I'm on drugs or something! 😂
I've had a truly terrible 13 hours at work, stressed to the max, upsetting all round. I'm sitting on the sofa and just opened the window a crack to get some fresh air, and the smell of a wood burner is creeping in.
I cannot explain it but that smell just calms my very soul. When I breathe that smell in I'm literally outdoors in the middle of nowhere, possibly where I grew up, possibly some imagined fantasy world. I am completely free. When I die, I want to be somewhere breathing that scent!
Does anyone else have a smell that has that effect on them?
Once again, I must stress, I am not. On. Drugs. 😂😂 Just been a very trying day!

Pears soap will forever remind me of my grandma and her lovely clean house. I used to love staying the night, having a bath with pears soap, getting dressed in front of the fire, then sleeping in a bed warmed by an electric blanket.

Same for me. I bought a pre reformulation bar on eBay and keep it in a drawer, as it doesn’t smell quite the same now.
