The smell of a cottonwood driftwood fire. It reminds me of camping out as a child, on the shores of a reservoir in Kansas. Along with that, the taste of my mother's chocolate chip cookies along with the smell of coffee from my dad's thermos, as we drove around in the '63 Chrysler to go pheasant hunting. I was, maybe, 5 years old.
The memories associated with smell seem to last longer, and be stronger, than any other. I recall reading that somewhere, and I agree. To this day, I can walk past a woman wearing the same perfume as my first love (high school, twenty years ago), and the effect is, memory-wise, analogous to getting whacked with a 2x4.

You've covered all my favorites and then some, except two: Fired shotgun shells, and 6-12 insect repellent. Not necessarily my favorites, but amongst them. Fish slime anyone?

Sagebrush anytime with some ponderosa pine and hot coffee thrown in the mix.

I'll second Lew's fired shotgun shells, and add Hoppe's No. 9.
Indoors or out, I just love the smell of a new puppy.

I like most all the above especially sage after a rain, but I'll add the smell of fresh rosemary, lemons and oranges.

Whatever that smell is of the BWCA. A wood fire, followed by applewood or pecan smoking ribs, brisket or pork shoulder roast. Gets me every time. JGW

Mountain laurel blossoms followed closely by mist from a waterfall.

Fish slime, plasic fly boxes, waders after 6 months of storage.

Hmmmm.. I would have to say a downed elk, and the smell of spring rain.

Game fish are too valuable to only be caught once.
