What does that smell remind you of....The sense of smell has to the one sense that is capable of evoking memories and taking us back to a time or even a moment in time - what "smell" does that for you? Karen

For me its carbolic soap you rarely see it or smell it these days but if I do catch a whiff then it takes me straight back to my Nan's back kitchen - she always had carbolic soap.  Another is cigar smoke and satsuma's (or oranges) remind me of Christmas my Dad always smokes a cigar on Christmas day. Or the scent of Stargazer lilies take me back to the first time I got my own bouquet of flowers  Karen |

Cigars......remind me of after midnight mass on Christmas Eve when we were kiddies. My uncle Harold would enjoy them with some whiskey at our house after mass |

Appparently it's the most eveocative of the senses - even when everything else has gone, smells have the power to evoke distant memories. Neighbours were trimming the hedge with a petrol engine hedge trimmer a couple of weekends ago..............I spent a couple of hours feeling sick and remembering standing by the side of a Standard 8 on the outskirts of Yeovil being violently sick  a hundred years ago when I was a child! I was the world's worst traveller as a child and am still not great now.Not the nicest of aroma-induced memories but incredibly strong  Nice ones are Christmas-when-I-was-a-child ones like the others - cigars and tangerines! |
