~~~ my boyfriends old house: I can’t really pin down the smell but it was so specific and lovely and if I smell it again I am THERE!!!
~~~ pub floor lmao; many years of bartending means somehow I have quite a nostalgic association with the smell of beer . Kinda wheaty
~~~ the lush perfume SUPERWORLD UNKNOWN: discontinued. Rip. So sweet, would never wear it now, but was supposed to smell like candy floss at a funfair . Maybe in space ??

There have been a handful of occasions where I’ve smelled the now-discontinued shampoo my mom’s late best gay friend Jackie used (who called me his little bitch when I was growing up and taught me everything I know about style, elegance, and attitude) and it made me cry. The smells of lumber, soil, and wood varnish remind me of the countless hours spent in my childhood with my dad in the greenhouse, the back patio workshop and at various supply warehouses.
The smell of creosote in the desert rain—sorely missed and I want to buy a candle or something that replicates this because it’s my favorite scent in the world. L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme on a shirt-collar takes me back to the warmth and security of first love and reminds me of what it feels like to be home. I’ve posted that I wear Fracas every time I want to remember a happy significant day so that’s probably my most strongly nostalgic scent.
The smell of old books and cigarettes! When I come into my apartment after stepping out for just a moment after making espresso and the lingering smell makes me feel like I’m in a cafe! The smell of a REAL Christmas tree!
Yesterday at the farmer‘s market I smelled a butterfly bush plant for sale and childhood memories came flooding back. Juicy Couture by Juicy Couture was my grandmother's signature scent because she liked the Schnauzers on the bottle so Tuberose always reminds me of her + the smell of face powder. I could go on forever…

like ok yeah it is 2013/14 again
i'm talking about specifically the rose jam body wash + perfume (not to be confused with the body spray) and the sleepy body wash + lotion. could literally just be nostalgia but both of those are very comforting to me … i just showered so now i'm thinking about it
in high school my friend came in one day smelling actually insane. turns out it was the lush sleepy cream. forgot about it for a few years but we're back. rose jam body wash was my first intro to lush at 12. but nostalgia aside, the perfume projects and lasts very well!!! recommend. i have the travel size and it's always in my bag.
my cat loves both of those scents
i work across the street from lush and can always smell it from the outside whenever i pass it
also the dean blunt song obv
