Right now for me, and this may sound weird, but it is the Build A Bear strawberry scent you can get put in your plushie.
Not because I frequently went to the Build A Bear Workshop as a kid. I only recently discovered their strawberry scent as an adult. But the scent reminds me of when I was a kid and I would play with my Strawberry Shortcake toys and it had that sweet strawberry scent.
Also, vanilla is always a classic nostalgic for me as well.
But what about you? What’s your favorite nostalgic scent?
Dad did a lot of woodworking, so for me it’s the smell of being in a woodshop around a lot of sawdust. Very nostalgic and comforting.
There is a specific scent of cinnamon that reminds me of my childhood since my father uses it as an air freshener in his work office.
Damp and mouldy locker rooms, from all the years playing handball in my youth.
Cheese and Onion pasty from the UK. The smell of that baked dough is amazing and brings me back to a simpler time.
Oak because I had this massive desk to study in growing up. Also, bakeries remind me of working in my family business.
