In my house we collect a lot of old books. (We sell them online.) I'm familiar with their musty smell. Magazine also have their own smells. Remember when they stuck tiny perfume samples into glossy magazines? I never cared for that smell. New books in bookstores also have a certain smell.
I lived in Britain when I was four, and visiting again years later I recognized the old smells of coal smoke, greengrocer shops and butcher shops. When I was little I got turned on by the smell of acetone for removing nail polish. (Lucky I didn't get addicted!) We played recorders but they got stored on a shelf next to a can of dog repellent and ended up smelling the same!
Couldn't think of anything else to write...
