I occasionally get smell that reminds me of an accident that happened nearly 40 yrs ago when I was little girl. A girl fell off her bike into the path of an articulated wagon. Its that smell that you get when the roads have been dry for a long time and sometimes when it rains I smell it. But it always reminds me of that little girl.
Nice to hear it has actually got a name. One of my re-occouring "odour memories" takes me back to infants school, when we used to use a little old hall opposite the school for one lesson a week as the school hadn't got enough room. I am always reminded of this when I smell a newly varnished wood floor, but even so this was not a conventional smell. After school when we had used this hall for a lesson my mum used to say youv'e been in that hall again haven't you , as I must have ponged of it.
