I think smells bring back memories. I used to love the smell of Germoline when I was younger, it used to be in a little round tin. My Grannie kept in a box in the bathroom and I would open it just to smell it, what a strange child I must have been. I brought a tube yesterday and it does not smell the same :-S |

Germolene is a different consistency now to the way it was in the little tin and not deep pink like it was..it certainly isn't as nice a smell, |

All smells are memories for me: I have to remember them, as I lost my sense of smell a couple of years ago! :-( |

I used to like the smell of a bottle of Quink Ink when I was at school in the 50's. |

Aw GeordieinNorfolk that must be so diffficult, but then again there are some smells one would choose to avoid. |

Yes, Paula, it can be. I have to rely on others to tell me if anything smells wrong in the house. It does save me a fortune on perfume, though, I just don't bother! :-D |
