Here is my list:
1. Lilacs
2. Suntan Lotion (That sends me back to days at the beach when I was growing up.)
3. Peonies
4. Chlorine in a Pool
5. Oceans
There is a theme. I love the water. When I was growing up, we spent everyday at the beach in the Summer. When we had swimming lessons, we would leave at 9:00am. We would leave the beach at the 3:00 break. It was the best. The downside was we belonged to the "wrong" beach. My Mom would not let us join the "other" beach until we had passed all our swimming lessons. At the time the "other" beach did not have Red Cross swimming lessons. My Mom made sure we could swim. That is so important.
6. Rain
7. Babies little necks and heads
8. New Car
9. Polo
10. Caramel
I love when a scent takes me back to a great memory. Scents are so powerful. Baby Soft body spray would remind me of early high school years. Ambush would remind me of later high school. Victoria Secret scents remind me of Tru Stories high school years. What are your favorite scents?
