I recently found a candle that smells just like my childhood friend's house. Instantly took me back to playing SNES emulators and staying over for dinner.
I heard smell is particularly good at bringing back memories, sometimes even in Alzheimer's patients.
To me it's hearing that seems the strongest, especially music.
I can still remember the smell of the gravel paths in my gradparent's garden when it was raining. Oddly specific memory, innit? No other smells that I "remember".
Music takes you back to the days that you first heard it, often precisely detailed and exact. From there, the rest of your life is available.
When my grandfather died 25 years ago I snagged his bottle of cologne when we cleaned out his house. Every now and then I pull out that bottle and it’s like being whooshed backwards through time and space.
I have a small candy tin that i brought around to keep small toys when we travelled across countries with my family. Every couple or so years I open it and it still smells of strawberry after 15+ years, and I immediately run through my childhood travels
Fabuloso does that for me!
Smelling it, or drinking it?
Who's talking about drinking fragrances?
I was being a smartass. I only know Fabuloso as a cleaning product, and I was joking about you chugging it
