Good smells

I have the worst association with cigarette smoke. It’s a trigger I haven’t even attempted to deal with, it’s like my
Mind goes berserk and I have zero ability to rationalize. Both uncles smoked.
 
fender guitars used to come in cases that smelled of vanilla oil when you opened them, it was wonderful to open them up and catch the smell as you picked up the guitar and further spread the scent around yourself. I dont think i noticed it when it went away but it did and i missed it so now i put some vanilla oil in every case i own. It is a wonderful, grounding thing.
 
Certain perfume, wish I knew what it was but I don’t. Not sure where it puts me but it feels like a long time ago, and comforting.

Also the smell of beer and weed together. similar to above, brings me back a long time. I have no idea why.

I love the smell of cold, crisp air. Especially in fall/winter or at night.
