And the winner is… #61 Tahrer Khalil, who wrote "Everytime I smell Chanel's COCO MADEMOISELLE it reminds me of when I was little. That is the one perfume my mom would always wear. Everytime we went out she would put some on. Now everytime I smell it it reminds me of those days. My mom lives in Arizona and I live in Chicago, so when I want to feel her presence I take a sniff of this elegant scent."

"In developing In Bloom, I found myself drawn to the scents of my childhood in Tennessee," explains Reese Witherspoon.

What a great giveaway!
Dina's Days is having a great giveaway too! BB, have you entered yet?! I posted this on facebook
The scent that reminds me of home is Chanel No. 5. My mom wore is all the time growing up. Often when a woman passes me and she's wearing it, I think of my mama!
fresh cut grass
pencil shavings
damp wood
crayons
grilled cheese sandwiches
all remind me childhood
For the summer it's saltwater, grass, and fried clams. We spent every summer on Cape Cod.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Also, I was born a Florida girl, and nothing brings back sweet summer memories like the salty ocean air and the smell of fresh shrimp for a picnic on the beach!
Good stuff
Adolescence was patchouli oil all the way.
decorate the school for the annual
May Day celebration. Also the salt spray
of the Gulf of Mexico at the end of the
street, the smell of the cypress wood
panelling our house, & my mom's
Tailspsin, Diorissimo & Youth Dew
yeast from baking bread (every Sunday).
and the Tresor by Lancome perfume my mom used to wear.
Thanks for the entry.
The smell I attribute most with my childhood though is the vibrant smell of freshly brewed orange tea and peanut butter. I used to spend every afternoon with my grandmother and she would always make us iced tea and peanut butter crackers as a snack. Years later, I smelled a lip gloss with that same orangey smell and it took my right back there to her kitchen.
