I just memo-smelled the nasty bug spray that tractors used to do around the agriculture town when I was young. Mom said it killed mosquitos, I am not sure it helped much, but it STUNK. I am sure it was harmless to us kids running around in it, huffing and puffing as we played.

Memory Smells are fucking weird.

A couple of years ago I bought a few cheap, identical long-sleeve polo shirts from eBay.
I think they were corporate clothing that was intended to be printed but wasn't.

They have been worn a lot and they don't owe me anything, and still show very little sign of wear
Except
They are developing a strange musty odour that no amount of washing, changing washing powder \ temperature, air-drying or whatever will shift.

They are going to have to go in the bin because I can no longer bear to wear them.

Has anyone else experienced this?
(And, no, I don't smell, it's definitely these clothes 😆

Ahhhhhhhh! ❤️ 😍

I love the smell of an old school, basic, wooden pencil. Cheers me up and calms me down.

Have never heard of anyone saying they love the smell of their computer/laptop/ipad/smart phone/ereader etc.

The smell of a brand new roll of film

It’s been a while, so maybe I’m remembering wrong, but I thought I loved the smell of a roll of film, fresh out of the canister. And in particular, Fuji smelled better than Kodak. This might have been because Fuji had some deal with Ritz when I was working there so their film was cheap. And because it was sort of “our” film, we were very much Fuji fans. It generally had a bit of a cooler look to it than Kodak. And Kodak was the first to start putting awful 800 speed film in disposables without a flash and telling people that was ok for indoor shots (it wasn’t) and then they’d come in with these awful, grainy, underexposed shots and complain to ME that the prints didn’t look good.

Sometimes you could show them the negatives and tell them, “hey, there’s nothing THERE. I can’t print a picture from nothing”. But mostly they were just mad.

Anyway, the roll of Fuji 200 I got this morning didn’t have much of a smell, and I was disappointed. The F5 made a really satisfying noise when it grabbed the leader, though.

WRITER FUEL: What did Ancient Rome smell like? We can probably safely assume Rome, in many areas, was likely pretty dirty and rank-smelling. That said, there's evidence of perfumes, incense and even deodorants.
