    One of the smells that I love is hot custard. It always reminds me of being pregnant with my eldest and my husband bringing me a bowl of it at 2 in the morning just because I had a craving for it. Nothing shows how much a man loves you like making fresh custard in the middle of the night.

    The scent of Lincolnshire sausages cooking they are a speciality sausage made by a local butcher (not the supermarket ones) they remind me of the long hot summers I spent with my family at my Aunt and Uncles house.

    Just the smell of fried dough brings me back to childhood. When it wasn’t so readily available in stores, we would make our own from scratch.

    This stew pig feet and lily root dish my mother makes. It always makes me think of my mom and the Lunar New Year.

    The smell of milk warming in the stove always reminds me of my mom making coffee in the morning. The smell of homemade sofrito hitting the pan while cooking always reminds me of her also, since she is the one that taught me how to make it and be very picky about not using store bought stuff.

    There’s this sort of incense smell that bring the familiar and fond memories of my hometown. Never found it anywhere here in the cities… Now talking about it made me want to go home!

    There are just so many memory-invoking smells to pick from (which is similar to how many want-to-read books there are to pick from, of course)! But one I’ve been thinking of lately is how the smell of freshly-cut alfalfa makes me think of growing up on the family farm.

    All the best with the new release, and thanks for the opportunity to win.

    The smell of roses and chlorine make me think of summer. My mom had many rose bushes in our yard and you could smell them from the pool (where I spent most of my life in the summer as a kid).

    Thanks for the fun tour!

    I always think about my grandmother and holidays spent in the country when I smell potatoes and split peas soup… Yummy!
    Thanks for the giveaway and I can’t wait to read more about Joe and “Tom”.

    This is going to sound weird I’m sure, but the smell of Drakkar, the cologne for men, will always remind me of high school. My first real crush and eventual BF wore it, and I remember inhaling deeply, yet discretely, when we were at our lockers between classes. That was, ahem, a long time ago…

    The smell or fresh mint and steamed green beans reminds of Sunday lunch at my grandparents.
