Yes... A scent is not just a scent. It is more than that. A scent can even take you on an interdimensional journey, pulling you into a black hole you never imagined. A single note of a scent is enough to take you on a journey through time.
As the human race, our sensitivity to odor lags behind that of some animals, but we can say that we are beings with a little olfactory memory. Considering that smell dates back to 4,000 BC, it can be said that odors, which are formed by chemical reactions, have been influential in the decisions we make. Before sight, hearing and touch, the sense of smell is the first sense to develop in order for living things to react to chemicals and events around them.
Let's say you walked into a store, a light powdery scent greeted you at first. Afterwards, a dominant perfume smell came to your nose and at the last point, an essence that surrounds you and motivates you to shop.… Maybe it's a vanilla scent, maybe another scent that triggers you. Isn't it the right time to shop with peace and happiness? That's exactly what fragrance is, in its simplest form.
Suppose you are walking on the road. If someone passes by you or if you smell a scent while you are walking in front of a place, it is easy to remember the first moment of the smell you felt years ago. A film strip passes before your eyes, its duration is short but its effect is long.
Scent is in your genetics
Smell should not be underestimated. Just as each person's fingerprint is a code of its own, scent functions just like your fingerprint. So it is useful to know that one of your genetic codes is smell. It is now proven that every human being has his or her own unchanging scent. One of the simplest examples is that a baby knows its mother by her smell. The mother's smell is like a four-digit password for the baby.
As we grow up, we actually commit all the smells to our memory. There is such an interaction between smell and memory in the human brain that we can archive them in a huge library. The smells you heard in your childhood form the scent memories in your mind that you can feel throughout your life. Which of us does not go back to our childhood with the smell of a cake or cookies that have just come out of the oven? Even cities have a smell. The smells of houses and environments continue to affect you at every moment. This is exactly what is called "olfactory memory". Hold on to the scents. You won't feel lonely.
