what smells/scents trigger specific memories for you, o TWW?

I assume you mean they elicit memories of illicit activities. Namely pot.

well not really

but strangely enough, I was also thinking that sometimes when I smoke pot, I get intense deja vu of specific events of my earlier life, and experience it (to an extent) just like I once did

I don't know if I'm the only one that's ever had that feeling or not

fucking uncanny; I swear to god I was thinking about including this sentence in my OP almost verbatim

I did cross country for 2 years, and now every time I smell cut grass, that's instantly what it reminds me of

RD smells last week's Domino's on his fingers. Take a shower, bro.

^^ I used to use a certain brand of shampoo when I did study abroad in France, and it turns out that it's the brand my boyfriend uses now. Showering brings back lots of memories.

yeah not only am i reminded of the places/cities/countries, but also all the special activities/good memories from those places, with just one whiff

the smell of Folgers coffee reminds me of that time i came home early from college in the middle of the snow, started brewing it before my parents got up, and had my little niece run downstairs and call me Peter before everyone came downstairs and hugged me.
