Smellories

The combination of Smells and Memories.
I dunno where this post will lead me to, I'm very tired and ready to pass out but whatever.

Earlier today, at around 7 in the morning, I followed through a routine of sorts. Go to the toilet, be pestered by the cat who wants out, go downstairs and let cat out, get food.
As I went downstairs into the kitchen, a peculiar smell hit my nostrils, which IMMEDIATELY took me back in time to 2001, when I was addicted to GTA 3.
If I was to describe the smell, I would say it was like a very faint smell of cinnamon, with a miscellaneous spice added in. It's a very subtle smell, however upon ingestion, all of the good memories of the fun times I had with the game came flooding back. It's almost humbling to think that it was 10 years ago.. Time flies really damn fast.

I had another event shortly after, as I was about to walk up the stairs. This time though, while I couldn't put any relative smell to it, I could certainly add a location. I was at a very large hotel place for a holiday on the coast, April '98/'99. I had fun while I was there, and the smell I had experienced there was ingrained in my memory.

I don't have many others, but when I experience the next one, I'll probably note it down, including its' origin.
