Cigarettes, it's bittersweet for me as my parents both smoked when I was growing up. I know I should hate it but I don't, it's somehow comforting and nostalgic even though I would never smoke myself.

Still love the scent of WD-40. The aroma of loosening metal parts in every garage in the 1970's. Fresh laundry and fresh baked goods are definitely up there. Freshly mowed lawn...all the good stuff.

The smell of the fuel we used to power Cox model cars and airplanes. My grandfather was really into it, and stepped up the fuel mix to 40% Nitro. Man those things would scoot.
