Funny for a page about smells- but I actually have a very poor sense of smell! The constant sinus infections I had as a child did not help with this. When my elementary school classes had supply drives, my parents would always donate a bunch of tissue boxes because they knew I would be the one using most of them.
This perfume would smell faintly of lotion and cough drops, and cover up just about any other smell.
During the warmest days of summer, we had a small inflatable kiddie pool that we would set up in the back yard. It could hold maybe a foot of water my sister and I to splash around in, and had a distinct plastic smell. This was also the smell of inflatable pool toys that we would bring to the beach or lake on the occasion that we went. I would also want this perfume to smell a like the chlorine of the public pool I learned to swim in. I remember having lessons in the evening, and it being pitch dark out when I left. I would also bring my tamagotchi to the pool (not IN the pool!) to play with other kids in the class. So, chlorine and plastic. Probably not a smell for everyone, but I would like it.
While most kids would watch Saturday morning cartoons, I would play the Nintendo Wii for as many hours as possible. My sister and I would get bowls of dry cereal and head to the TV in the guest room. Mostly, I would play and she would watch. The combination of eating cereal and holding the Wii Remote would cause it to get a little bit sticky and smell sweet... that's what this scent would be. Some favorite games were Mario Kart, Mario Galaxy, Pokepark (1 and 2), Kirby (Epic yarn, Return to Dreamland), and Endless Ocean.
One of the many games my sister and I would play was the "indoor picnic". We had a specific blanket with a smooth texture that would be the picnic blanket, and a specific plastic tea set that had a sort of chalky, sweet smell. We would gather up stuffed animals and have them sit around the perimeter of the blanket with us. No actual food was eaten at the indoor picnic, except maybe crackers.
My aunt and uncle used to own a little house in the middle of nowhere. My family would take the two hour drive out to see them every few months and stay overnight. They had a real yard with a wooden play structure for my sister and I, and several acres of forest. The main activities I did there were swing on the swing set, watch deer through the sliding door, and pick blackberries (and play on my nintendo DSi).
We would all go out with baskets and step ladders, wearing long jean jackets to protect our arms from the thorns (for the most part), and carry back as many berries as we could before we got tired.
Companion piece to Blackberry Picking. The house I grew up in had two ancient peach trees in the "front yard" (the strip of grass between the sidewalk and the street). They produced an incredible amount of wonderful-smelling, but incredibly stringy peaches. So many peaches in fact, that the weight of them would break the branches if we didn't remove most of the buds- standing on ladders and getting twings caught in my hair. Nobody in our family liked eating the peaches due to their texture, so we mostly gave them away to neighbors. Unfortunatly, we also had a lot of people climb the trees and break the branches (because the trees are old and fragile). The peaches also splattered on the sidewalk where we had to clean them up. But they did smell really good.
This perfume would smell mostly of peach, but also of lichen and wet leaves.
This is one of those artistic perfumes that very few people actually wear because they smell gross. Since I was little, I've been chronically motion sick. Even playing or watching a first-person POV video game would make me sick- not to mention car rides, plane rides, and fairground rides. I would always have an emergency "puke bag" in my backpack, and I've probably thrown up just about everywhere in my hometown. I am very thankful this diminished greatly as I got older. I can even read in the car now!
I have also struggled with anxiety my whole life (not surprising, it runs in the family). It was especially bad when I was younger; it got much better once my hormones settled down as an adult. Feeling anxious also made me feel nauseaus, which only added to the already high number of Places I Have Vomited.
This perfume would smell like well... vomit, as well as ginger (which is supposed to help with car sickness), children's dramamine (also for motion sickness), and plastic bag.
