smell

[gaylasue]

I have a vivid "smell memory" of when I was little and went to the hair dresser with my granny.  There was something they used that smelled so good.  I never knew what it was nor have I experienced that scent since but I still can vividly remember that sweet aroma.

Smell doesn't bring back my memories so much, but songs do. Whenever I hear songs I can remember clearly what I was doing the first time I heard the song.

Twice today people have brought up to me the correlation between smell and memory. I think (and this has been scientifically proven, if I'm not mistaken?) that smell is the most related to different memories. Personally speaking, I can agree with that. It's just like autumn, I instinctively think of the cool smell of the air, crisp leaves, pumpkin spice, etc. Interesting stuff!

O....k. Thanks for that!

The smell of an old vintage Holly Hobbie lunchbox always reminds me of sandwiches I used to pack for lunch during a school field trip.

I enjoy the smell of cut grass and also the freshness after a good rain.
