Smells that transport you back

[MrHew]

I was laying out a load of wood chip at the allotment at the weekend. When I opened the first bag the waft took me straight back to Glastonbury.

What smells take you back there?

Hand sanitiser; a smell we've all grown accustomed to over the past 12 months

Newly cut grass

Burger vans

Septic tanks

Mud that's drying out.....seems to give off an aroma that's similar to festivals.

Sat round a couple of socially distanced chimneas/fire pits over the last week or so that reminds me of festivals.

Warm cider split down my jeans and trying to dry out (which I did the other day!)

They were muck spreading round here the other day and it smelt a little sulphur like. For a minute or so it took me back but it was pretty overwhelming instead of just a fleeting smell of it...

Having just run around the perimeter of Worthy, i can confirm it is ripe in the air. Not sure what they have spread but it sure clears the pipes.

Bonfires.  People used to make them up from the timber that was provided.  Happy days chilling round the campfire.

We last had a bonfire on the Sunday night in 2014....people camped near us were moaning about it!

I live in Brighton so the place normally smells like weed anyway, but occasionally you’ll get a whiff of mega strong stuff which is very festival reminiscent

Wood fired ovens.

Have a pizza oven and a smoker at home and use wood chips in both and the smell takes me back to early morning strolls through the markets wondering if its too early to go for a pint in the Avalon Inn.

It's not

[BagpussSeesAllThings]

The smell of grass you find on the ground and the grass that is smoked both take me back

Thats always the conclusion I come to yes.

I remember walking around Glastonbury once and overhearing someone say basically Glastonbury smells of shit and weed and as we followed him he kept saying weed, now shit so guess what smells take me back to Glastonbury 😄

Wood fired, pizza oven, smells, really remind me of, the modern, Glastonbury.  Compared to Global Gathering, that always stank of barbecues.

It’s an obvious one, but the smell (and sound) of our tent, no matter where the camping holiday is, reminds me of Glasto.

The smell of bonfires reminds me of The Stone Circle. 

The smell of incense reminds me of The Greenfields.

The smell of myself when I haven't showered for five days.

[Pinhead]

Straw, campfire smoke, rotten spilt cider in front of Brothers and Cider Bus, weed.

The smell in the car on the way home after a damp Glastonbury as all the camping gear and clothing  which was just shoved in the back seats begins to dry out. Usually start to notice it by the first services. Rancid by Southwaite! 

Much prefer the heady scent of weed and bonfires at the stone circle in the early hours! 

[Tartan_Glasto]

That smelly rain you get. You know when it's rained on a warm day and the air has this kinda damp smell to it. 

Smelled that the other day was take right back to wandering round Glasto.

My capacity to smell has all but been rendered ineffective. No prizes for guessing how that came about. I can still smell strong curries though. Not that that has anything to do with this thread.

Ever had your toilet break?
