Scent and Memory
Whist enjoying this divine summer, we're diving into the fascinating world of scent and memory. Discover how fragrances can transport you back to cherished moments and places, and learn how to harness this power to enrich your life.
The Science behind scent & memory
Did you know that our sense of smell is closely linked to our brain's emotional and memory centers? The olfactory bulb, which processes smells, connects directly to the amygdala (the brain's emotional hub) and the hippocampus (responsible for memory). This explains why certain scents can instantly bring back vivid memories and emotions.
How fragrances capture destinations
Perfumers have long understood the link between scent and memory. For example the scent of mediterranean honeysuckle could transport you to a summer day on the French Riviera or maybe to a resort in the Amalfi Coast using the unique scent of sun-warmed terracotta.
Creating your own scent memories
Planning a trip? Consider bringing along a new body wash or lotion infused with essential oils, that you haven't worn before. Use it throughout your vacation, and later, whenever you wear that scent, you'll be instantly transported back to those special moments. This simple practice can help you create lasting, joyful memories linked to your favourite places.
