The smell I made after my mother forced Sulphur and treacle down me to cure my spots.It didn't work and I had to put myself in solitary confinement for hours.
Sorry to introduce a vulgar note among all these romantic reminisances.
How about the smell of the bluebells in Bluebell Wood in Huncoat?

I remember brimstone & treacle, it does cure spots & boils, clears a room in 2 seconds when you let one go, great stuff if you need your own space.

I remember elderly aunts, who kissed you as a child, and who smelled of Lavender. To this day I am not entirely fond of Lavender!!!!!!!

Caravans ! That definitive smell all the rented ones on Caravan parks seem to have usually on wet windswept cliff top sites (I suppose inland sites too). It is not confined to UK either, I've been in Caravans on sites here in Europe & suddenly I'm 6/7 year old in a sodden Rhyl, North Wales about to begin my holidays with the family.

Hospitals when they actually smelt clean, like a Dettol scent. These days it's like someone's sprayed a poo scented air freshener!

The smell of freshly ground coffee in Blowers at the bottom of Church st in Accrington....I bet there aren't many of you who remember that shop.
