I get the same thing.
When I'm having an asthma attack (not very often, but sometimes) I can smell the medicine that they gassed me with when I was rushed to the hospital as a kid.
Every time I smell Old Spice I automatically think of my grandfather, even though that's not the collogne he wears. I haven't seen him since I was nine. I wonder if he still smells like that.
The smell that is inhearent to all appartment buildings I've ever been in remind me of a friend, and smoking weed and dancing to Oasis.
The smell of marijuana reminds me of Sharlene and how beautiful she was my first time smoking. She let me wear her coat so mine wouldn't smell like it, and she put her arm around me as we listened to Marq tell us stories on the balcony. I was in love with her that night.
They say that scent is the strongest memory. You and I aren't the only ones with "smell memories" MooseMan
