My mom's cookies, or for that matter, any homemade chocolate chip cookies. I love coming home from a hard day at school or work, and finding a tray of fresh cookies to eat. They smell wonderful too!

All time favorite, nitro-methane and burning rubber. If you have ever stood near a top fuel dragster when it does it's burnout, you would never have to ask why. :) Edit: God I love getting rated down on OLD answers. F**k off if you don't like my opinion, but that IS what the question asked for.

Well, answering my own question... Aside from my Grandma's linen basket... I like the smells of plah-doh and crayons because they bring me back to when I was a little kid. I like the smell of the woods after a cool rain. I love the smell of fresh coffee brewing... I always seem to find myself slowing down around the teachers lounge at school because the smell just wafts out of there. And I agree with Auntie Em and Ms. Anonymous because babies smell lovely.

Orange blossoms. Every time I smell orange blossoms, it reminds me of cruising down the Pacific Coast Highway just north of Monterey, California. It was in February of 1993, I was driving a Ford Mustang convertible and the sun was just rising over the mountains to my left. I drove into a valley that was completely scented by a grove of orange trees in bloom. Now, every time I smell orange blossoms, it transports me right back to that time. (I guess that the scent is also memorable because of that summer in February thing...http://www.answerbag.com/a_view.php/92494)

One of my favorites is Vanilla. I used to have a candle in the bathroom and I would always pick it up and just smell it and it would remind me of Christmas, one of my favorite times of the year. Another is the smell that just used fireworks give off. I love that smell because it reminds me of July 4th, another favorite time of the year because it is always exciting to see the action.
