Memories...is there a smell that reminds you of another time?

Hi friends. I am working at a new Kohl's store and we are busy getting all the product out on the shelves. Last night I was putting belts up and the heavy leather smell took me to memories of my great-grandparents (Grandpa & Grandma Luke). They owned a shoe shop for many year, they sold it when I was very young, but the continues to do monogrammed belts and shoe repairs in their garage. They have been gone for many years, but I was surprised how that smell reminded me of them. (Songs do that for me all the time, but this was the first time a smell has brought up memories) So, is there a smell or song that takes you back to another time? Leave me a comment.

hi my friend! thanks for the comment. we are not near Nashville (about three hours away). We're in very very very East TN (past Pigeon Forge, Sevierville), almost on the border of VA. you will have to let me know if you are ever out this way!

yes old spice and shave cream remind me of my grandpa too. I used to get a kick out of watching him shave he had an old fashioned lather brush and razor that used real razor blades that he could change out. I miss him. Thanks for that post!
