Smells that evoke memories.

The smell of freshly baked scones will always remind me of my late MIL. The smell of chocolate cake my late Mother.
My son says that the smell of my perfume will always remind him of me when he was small and sprayed nearly a whole bottle all over my room.

Do you have any particular smells that evoke memories of anything?
