You didn't say smells that bring back pleasant memory's and after the last couple decades we've had I would think there would be quite a few that could generalize it by just saying the smells of war.

Anyone remember the smell of a canvas tent that was waterproofed with wax and gasoline?

One smell from the past I hope to never smell again is hog fat being rendered into lard. One smell I keep with me each year is Hoppes #9

Mellorine at granddads. Also, pine forests and Christmas trees

As I recall, if you smell them you also taste them.

One smell I keep with me each year is Hoppes #9 +1. I still smell it every day at work and each time it transports me back to Grandpa Marvin's shed by the range where he taught me how toshoot and clean my firearms! BN

The smell of fresh, raw cow's milk in the pail The smell of a freshly spent shotgun shell The smell of a skunk when I cross the Oklahoma border at night after working out of state for months

Vitalis...
Grandpa used it in his hair. You could catch a faint whiff of Vitalis from the bed pillows for years after he passed.

Fresh cut alfalfa. Takes me back to the ten years of custom harvesting I was into. Wouldn't take a million dollars for the memory and wouldn't take a million to do it again.
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.
