I think there was a little soda fountain/popcorn smell mixed in there as well. And that reminds me, I was just reminded today of an interesting one. "New Mall" smell. Only found at shopping malls which are less than a few years old, it's like new car smell only bigger.

Originally Posted By geniesjoy Thanks Mr. X-I do remember the soda fountain & popcorn added smell. I have an old photo from an old newspaper of the Woodland Woolworths soemwhere before the closed. They sold this fragrance I will never forget-cheap, strong & mysterious!! Some more: Hot apple carmel cider & Cinnamon tea latte both from stores on Main Street at Xmas. oops-another one-horse hide leather gloves used to lift bar bells for years.

A crisp, fresh new newspaper. A very old, yellowed, "famous" newspaper (my Dad used to have "Nixon Resigns", "Nation Mourns" (re. Pres Kennedy) and "Man Walks on Moon"...maybe he still does if they haven't disintegrated lol). AND, old photographs. I suppose you could wrap most of that commentary into "scrapbook smells".
