I remember the smell of Velooty (don't know how it's spelt!) which my nan used to put on her skin. I haven't come across it on anyone else but I did catch a whiff of it when I first moved away to college. She died a couple of days after I left home and the following day I smelt it briefly in my new flat! Scary, but I guess she was telling me she knew where I was.
I like the smell of newly-cut grass, but it always reminds me of when I was little, and my father used to chase us round and throw handfuls of cuttings all over us!

White Musk for my Mum

Old Spice for my Dad.......Or dust.
