Scent Memory: Unlocking the Past Through Smells
Scent memory is a phenomenon where certain smells can evoke powerful emotional responses and memories from the past. This is because our sense of smell is directly linked to the parts of the brain responsible for emotion and memory. When you smell something familiar, it often triggers not just a visual recollection but an emotional response. This is the beauty of scent memory, a phenomenon most of us experience without even thinking about why it happens. With scent memory, you can choose scents for specific milestones, use scents for daily rituals, and even create a scent log of milestones to better recall memories.
