Whenever I smell a balsam fir, I am transported back to my childhood. When we put the Christmas decorations away in the attic each year, some needles would find their way into the boxes. Come the next Christmas, Dad would boost me up to the attic panel in the hallway ceiling, I would set it aside in the attic, and he would boost me the rest of the way into the attic. I would then hand down the boxes to him. Somehow, sitting in the attic over the course of the year, those needles would infuse the air up there with their scent. (Taking down and putting away the decorations were the only times that the attic was entered during the year.) When I had handed down all of the boxes, Dad would act like he was going to leave me up there, eventually catching my legs as I lowered myself through the opening and holding me there while I replaced the panel. That's really good stuff. Based on your words, I was almost there. It helps my imagination that my dad has the same kind of prankish/loving humor.

Fresh cut hay, fresh cut wood, and leather that is new enough to retain some of the smell.
drover Richard would be disappointed if I did not make a disparaging remark about "fresh cut hay".

My Grandfather, with much help from my Dad, built a cabin in the mountains above Boone, N.C. in the late '60s-early '70s. My most cherished childhood memories are of times in and around that cabin. Since we only got up there once or twice a year, it always had that "musty" smell when we entered. The cabin is still in the family, now belonging to my Dad's only surviving sibling, my aunt, and we try to get up there at least for a weekend each year. It still has that familiar smell and I love it.
Also, there's something about the smell of an old fashioned hardware store. All ours are long gone, but there's one we step into in West Jefferson when we're up at the cabin that has that distinctive smell that takes me back to my childhood.

Well crap - the first memory I had reading the thread title doesn't mesh with these responses. As a kid in elementary school, a neighbor girl took me for a ride on the back of her brand new Honda Trail 50 mini-bike and the smell of her hair in my face was wonderful.
