I don't know about favorite, but I love the smell of the Gibson's in Weatherford. It smells just like it did when I was a kid. It's pretty amazing how smells can take you back it time like they do. I know what you mean. I worked the the grocery business for 31 years. I started in 1975 at Winn Dixie and the smell of supermarkets back the had a certain smell that hardly exist today. Every now and the I go thru some small town that has an old / small grocery store that I go into and the smell takes me back to when I was 16 and sacking groceries. I think the paper bags is why you have that smell.

When I was a kid we would drive past the Rainbo Bread bakery in OKC on occasion and the smell was amazing to me. Also like that my wife stores our t-shirts in a cedar cabinet. They always have that slightly smokey cedar scent when I pull them over my head in the morning. With a light SW wind I get to smell the Bimbo factory in Rockwall in my back yard. The Folgers plant in Sherman use to put out some nice smells.

I really hate the smell of cigarette smoke but have always liked the smell of the first couple of seconds after one is lit. And certain pipe smoke. Any tobacco, unlit. Also State Fair Foods, Fort Worth, tx. any time of year.

This, my Dad smoked a pipe and smelling one sure brings back memories. Yes Sir. My Grandpa smoked a pipe too. Here is a pic of me on his lap when I was a kid. He spent his whole life as a LEO after the military. He was half Cherokee and a no BS hard man, but every time I smell a pipe I think of him and remember him letting me take a few puffs and the good times that we shared together.

Our sense of smell changes as we get older. Smells were much more intense when I was a youngster. My grandpa was a tenant farmer in south Texas, I spent a lot of time running wild on the farm in the country. COTTEN FIELDS. Walking the dirt roads barefoot between the cotton fields at dusk just when the air and the ground started to cool, the cotton fields had a wonderful smell. Then of course, there was nothing like the intense smell of freshly picked cotton in the trailer or at the gin. Now, almost sixty years later I don’t think the smell would even register....but the memory remains.

Many fond memories here of fishing or sitting with my grandpa Jess watching all of the western shows on tv while he smoked his pipe in a chair just like that! Wish I had a picture of him.

Everybody mentioning vanilla reminds me of when I was about 12 or 13 years old in the Amazon jungle in Peru. The vanilla plant that grew there was like super powered vanilla, not the easier to grow Mexican variety. When one of those plants bloomed, the smell would just slap you silly.
