I mean even now carbolic soap reminds me of my Nans kitchen and cigars and oranges of Christmas. |

Emma - that sounds a bit dodgy!!! Kazz and PP - you are absolutely right about smells being so evocative. Patchouli takes me straight back to the 70's too! But I am afraid commercial "perfumes" do nothing for me - natural flower and spice scents are best for me. |

I love the smell of carbolic soap!! A few years ago we visited the Beamish Open Air Museum (really worth going if you're ever in NE England ) and saw some carbolic soap in the museum shop. OH had to practically drag me away, I could have inhaled it all day |

Even the call "Step away from the soap" would fall on deaf ears - that would so be me too I love it. Would not buy it would "ruin" the memory somehow but the unexpected whiff in most unlikely places is pure heaven. |

I love the smell of carbolic soap too - takes me straight back to my childhood. My wonderful mum used to use it on the washing!!! A few years ago we were in a shop in The lake District, they had some carbolic soap for sale and I couldn't be dragged away, so my daughter bought me some!! I adore candles, have them burning most evenings, and I love natural oils, jasmine, coconut and lavender have to be my favourites. I love a nice warm bath with relaxing music and candles. Oh and lovely clean, crisp sheets - heaven!! |

I'm slightly embarrassed to say I don't know what carbolic soap is .... is it that old fashioned yellow laundry soap in bars that women used in the laundry years ago? If so, I don't remember any particular scent ... but then was rarely around when Mom was doing the laundry as I was in school ..... |
