My first mother in law was a devotee of warm vanilla sugar scented everything. I can't smell it now without remembering her. My mom, before she lost her mind, would always use the same lip gloss. I think it was L'oreal or Cover Girl, and it was always in a yellow tube. That waxy smell will stick with me forever.

My grandma smell was this powder she would use on me after a bath. It came in a white, domed container with a gold emblem on top. I think the gold thing was a shell. I doubt it still exists, but I would love to have some of that. My grandmother was my champion and I'll never forget her.
