There is a part of our brain that stores emotional memories that is intricately linked with smell. As a result, if you ever noticed, there are some scents or aroma that reminds us of a past experiences and can flood us with the same long-ago feelings..
A lot of times, when I smell something familar, it instantly made me either happy or sad. Sometimes I can't remember right away the scent and how it relates to my past, but it is quite fun digging the story behind the scent.
.
Sure there are good smells and bad smells, but did you know that scents can also be happy or sad?
