7.We've all had that moment when we are in the middle of sorting old clothes,or walking down the street and passing a restaurant,or someone hugs you and their pleasant smell go slightly and you're instantly transported to a past memory or you feel an emotional response to that smell.
For me,the smell of bubble bath will always make me think of long soaps in the big claw-footed bath and my grandma's house in the UK!If this sounds like you too,there is a reason for it.Psychologist Sabina Read explains,"Fragrance is commonly linked to our mood and behavior via learned emotional responses associated with smells and past experiences.If we smell roses while visiting a sick loved one in hospital,the smell may arouse sadness or grief (哀傷); however if we first smell roses after giving birth,we will most likely associate that smell with feelings of joy and love.Therefore fragrance plays a powerful role in mood and emotion across our life."
