That white glue with a little spatula in he lid, smelled like fake almonds.

My sister stinking of petrol (she worked in a petrol station in the days of green shield stamps).

Chanel No.5 the only duty free my dad used to bring home from all his business trips.

Fish and chip shops when they used lard to fry.

2 stroke engine oil.

The permanent stench of cigarettes everywhere, my dad was a 40 a day man and we had nicotine stained everything.

I hate the smell of fag smoke but love the smell of an ancient pub that has about a century worth of 'bines and Navy Cut smoked into the walls, ceilings and chairs.

I love the smell of tobacco too, just not when its lit.
