Sanforized Oxford Cloth fresh from Cellophane?
Limes?
A Lloyd Loom chair left in the sun?
Thoughts?
Gibsons, Camels, black coffee and formaldehyde...
Pot, exhaust fumes of a Triumph Bonneville, molotov cocktails, brylcreem, a seedy basement, old paperbacks, Gitanes...
Used book store
I think the odor of old books definitely qualifies. That is one of my favorite smells in the world, and is one reason why I still love books so much, as opposed to just reading on a screen. My late grandfather's shed also had quite an individual aroma, nothing like it since, and he was a well turned out fellow who could clean up pretty nice for a poor southern military man.
also, the smell of GOOD ganja, that's class and style.
Creosote, laced with amyl-nitrate.
The collision of damp, tweed and piss in J.Simons basement.

Old books, for sure.
Gin.
Special pipe tobacco such as my dad used to buy from the late Mr. Cooper in New Haven...not the Half & Half he gets now.
The smell of smoke outside coming from a chimney.
Salt water on the breeze.
A rose garden.
Ivy for all seasons.
