The smelltrack to your life

[hellkat]

I was in the chemist trying to find some reasonably-priced ibuprofen and some 5HTP (Holland and Barrett being non-essential shopping) and found myself queuing amongst the smellies aisle.

So on the spur of the moment I bought this.
And now I smell fantastically like the 1970s
Transported back to 1975 , the beach, those boys, the cars, and I'm Not In Love on the radio.

I'm half tempted to go back and buy some Old Spice
There was another one, can't remember what it was called but I know it was also around back then.

Aside from that, my house smells of pasta fagioli : (beans, tomato, red salmon and garlic), Amber incense, weed and "Jammy Red Roo" wine.
All is well on planet hellkat today.

How's your day smelling?

There was one called Hai Karate, it was supposed to make women leap on you from all directions so you needed Karate to fight them off.,
My brother got some for christmas but mainly used it to hide smelly dog bed odours. Not a euphemism.

I always liked older women so always used to keep some old spice handy.

it worked a few times

Today I mostly smell epoxy resin because I'm fixing fairings and making a mould for an exhaust heat shield.

I do like the smell of hot 2-stroke oil and curing engine paint though.

Whenever I smell Charlie (snigger) I’m transported back to the 1970’s at my girls school. We doused ourselves in it and walked from class to class in a Charlie-infused haze.

Edit: OMG this thread has triggered a memory of an aftershave called Agua Brava. Who remembers that? It was woody and leathery just like my uncle who used to stink our house out when he visited. It must have been alluring because he had loads of girlfriends, despite his woody leatheryness

Patchouli
Every time I smell it
I'm like wow, cool, peace man.
Far out and things I only dimly remember,
if at all

But the scary thing is how I can remember all this shit from 40-50 years ago but can't remember what I had for my tea last night:

[The Shaggy D.A.]

I was bought a Denim gift pack for chrimbo back in the 70s. I didn't start shaving until 5 or 6 years later. It lasted until the early 90s, as I only wore it on dates.

I don't get out much.

The Ruskin is a lame wine bar now.
I never went there back when it was good.
I was busy being proper Italian wifey.
But I know a lot of people who were in and out of there all the time.

*you were probably smelling Paul (a dreadlocky white fella out of Hackney) who is part of that history. He turned up here a couple of times, and was hanging about with my previous accessory about 2 years ago, he always smells of patchouli Paul does, nice chap.

Fuck! I just spilled a slick of that waxmelt stuff.
The whole damn house smells of Tesco "warm fireside"

Cracking swiftly on with the Jammy Red Roo, then.

Patchuli by itself does nothing for me.

The combination of patchuli and slightly mildewey canvas/army surplus clothing however...

Aviation fuel on the pan in Germany, on a hot summer day. Sitting on the grass waiting for a cab to come in for a rotors-running refuel, cold can of Coke in hand, overalls stripped to the waist; visiting F16s with their high-pitched whine taxying past; Harriers of 3 and 4 sqns carrying out hover tests, and the heavy "whop-whop" of Chinooks from 18sqn across the field
