Couple of months ago, I was taking out the trash, and got a slight whiff of a ripening chicken bone. Instantly was hit with a really strong smell of human decomp. that lasted a week. Can't remember what I walked into the next room for, but things like this arise unbidden from ages past. Isn't memory an odd thing.
Smells can deff bring back memorys some good some bad... whenever i smell a certain flower it brings back a great emory of a Female i loved!! still do..A smell I d smell on her when danced close slow dances ..
