How Smells Trigger Memories: The Power of Scent and Emotion
Why Scent Is the Most Emotional Sense
Have you ever caught a fleeting scent and been instantly transported to a cherished memory? Whether it’s the salty breeze of a beach vacation, the woodsy comfort of a childhood cabin, or the romantic air of your honeymoon resort—scent can take you back in time like no other sense.
That’s not coincidence. It’s science.
Our sense of smell has a direct neurological link to the areas of the brain that process memory and emotion—the amygdala and hippocampus. That’s why even the subtlest fragrance can unlock memories we thought were long forgotten.
