Are there any scents that invoke childhood memories?

Following a childhood adventure that saw me faceplant into a tree at 60kmph my sense of smell clocks in at around 25%.  At a guess.  It's hard to prove a negative and I don't remember what 100% was like, but I do know that people routinely comment on how good food smells and I wasn't aware there was food.  That said, some smells do get through easily.  Nag Champa incense puts me right back in my first year of university.  Specifically a two-level Queenslander in Townsville, all war-era kitchen, unpolished wooden floors, and a bedroom that was a partitioned off section of the front porch/sunroom.  Vertical glass blinds, clothes hung on a broomstick suspended from the ceiling.  A pair of opshop pants that I wore to death because they were loose enough to allow a full range of movement, whch I needed for two hours of warmup (yoga, tai chi, etc etc) in the Cow Shed from 6-8am every morning.  They wore through in the seat real quick and I wound up patching them with a large square of white-and-red polka dotted material. 

Half the class had bones in their hair, so it wasn't especially unusual.  It was a Bachelor of Theatre course for Chrissakes.  In Queensland.
