What sweet-smelling confections remind you of your childhood?

  • Do you have a specific candy, dessert, or baked good from your childhood that brings back a wave of nostalgia every time you catch a whiff of it? Maybe it’s the scent of cotton candy at a fair, freshly baked cookies, or a candy shop treat. I’d love to hear about the fragrances that remind you of simpler times and the childhood memories tied to them!

  • I have added mine to get the conversation started.

  • Remember those candy tart necklaces? I used to crave the scent of that every once in a while and was trying to find something similar. The only one that came remotely close was Montale's Lucky Candy.

Such a fun and thoughtful thread
I love and still love anything sweet scented. 
There was once this cotton candy perfume I would get at Walgreens but I forgot what it was called, this was a familiar past time scent. To make that scent more in real time I found this BBW Mist

I also used to go to this place downtown that had these lotions.

I would mix them to make a scent and they smelled soooo good. I will have to find the name it was a while ago 🫶😁

@peculiarzmakeup I like the sounds of these. I wouldn't mind smelling like cotton candy at all. 😀

@kandieone what fun! I would say: Smarties, grape Laffy Taffy, cotton candy,

crepes suzette, and Twinkies, for a few.

Re: What sweet-smelling confections remind you of your childhood?

Love those!! Oooh Twinkies, have not had one if those in a super long time but I do remember the smell of them 😌

@kandieone  This is a fantastic idea! I love this, I loved those necklaces I am gonna check that scent out now! I’ll have to do some thinking. I’ll be back! Great thread! 💕

Re: What sweet-smelling confections remind you of your childhood?

Yes, check it out, smells divine.

 

Okay great, sounds good! I'll stay tuned for yours!! 😀

Re: What sweet-smelling confections remind you of your childhood?

This is a fun thread idea @kandieone 🩷🩵 thank you for starting this! 

When I think of scents that remind me of childhood, these come to mind. 

 

Fresh Candy Apples or hot Carmel Corn 🍎 

Bubblegum but specifically bazooka Joe's 🫧 

Pancakes with Maple Syrup 🥞

 

I totally relate to cotton candy, ooh and and I haven't even thought about a candy necklace in forever. Those did smell so good! 

Re: What sweet-smelling confections remind you of your childhood?

Yay! @CynthieLu Happy to start this thread and thought it was also a fun and engaging topic!

 

I loved candy apples and cotton candy from the state fair and also the smell of funnel cakes! 

I think I have actually seen the Bazooka Joe's before but did enjoy the bubblegum tape when I was a child 😄

 

Yes, I also had the matching candy bracelets too! Haha 😆

Re: What sweet-smelling confections remind you of your childhood?

Oh that's a good point, the smell of the fair is just pure childhood memories @kandieone 🎪🎡

Ngl, I kinda want a candy bracelet now, that taste would be such a blast from the past. 😀
