Strange, isn’t it? How the simplest scent can stop us in our tracks and send us spiralling back in time to a forgotten or cherished place of our past; the welcoming aroma of freshly baked cookies; the combined fragrance of the salty ocean breeze with the richness of melting ice cream; the lingering scent of mildew and nicotine clinging to the curtains and wallpaper. Our sense of smell is invariably linked to our memories, much like our senses of sight, sound, and taste.
