lovecontagious Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Of the five senses, the sense of smell is the most powerful. It can trigger memories that you thought were lost forever. Whenever I burn Nag Champa incense, I instantly remember my favorite Dylan concert at Cobo Hall in Detroit. The scent of synthetic lemon makes me cringe because it reminds me how obsessive compulsive my mother is about cleaning and germs. Huge childhood trama...I won't even go there. Whenever I smell Este Lauder's perfume Este I think of my grandmother. And my favorite smell of all is when Lilac Rain is snuggled up to me and I smell her hair. I can't get enough of her smell!!! What scents/smells do you like or dislike? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, maybe not the sweaty men...I guess it depends on who the sweaty man is. The smell of a clean baby can't be beat. *Sigh* I sure do miss that smell.
