This is one of my daily joys that I indulge in. Reaching for a perfume, oil, scented wax/candle or
room spray.
The experience that odor-linked memories cause is called the Proust effect. This name came about because the author Marcel Proust wrote in his book, Swann’s Way, that the smell of a pastry he dipped in his tea brought on a rush of joy associated with his childhood.
Why do scents take you back to memories long ago? There is a reason that our minds connect scent to memories. It has to do with a mechanism in our brain. Of our five senses, only our sense of smell can directly send a signal to the hippocampus, accessing memories stored within.
