Streszczenie The presented article is based on commentaries that have appeared in the Internet forum – an online discussion site where people can hold conversation in the form of posted messages. The discussion forum contains a great numbers of subforums, each of which have several topics. The author of the article explores a subforum where people talk about smells associated with the period of People’s Republic of Poland. The inquiry reveals that people still keep in their minds various smells of that period. There are mainly o-dours of perfumes, toilet waters, soaps, shampoos, creams etc. The smells influence their moods, trigger memories, stimulate imagination and raise strong emotions such as: nostalga, melancholy or yearning for sweet childhood and youth. Some of inter-nauts evaluate favourably the smells of the past, the others disagree with them. They claim that odours of the People’s Republic of Poland were trashy, shoddy and stinking.
