Makes Scents

There are certain smells that trigger the memory and take me back. Doesn't mean it's always a good memory. But, a memory, no less. And they are...

Final Net hairspray

Baby powder

A crisp dollar bill

A candle that has just been blown out

Sunblock

Obsession cologne

Seabreeze astringent

Rubber cement

A neighbor's grill

My grandmother's home

A dry-erase marker

The orange sawdust-like stuff used in schools when students got sick

Vick's vapor rub

Cookies in the oven

A wet bathing suit

Puppy breath

Movie popcorn

Baby shampoo

i'm very mesmerized, in your list there are more things that remember my father (he has passed seven months ago...). They are the Obsession Cologne, my grandmother's home and i add this item: Pout-Pourri fragrance in the air near me when i need him, today...bye
