I know scent memory can be strong. I know it can be random. But when it triggers, it trigger hard.
I have this lotion I received from a small company that is no longer in business. It’s a soft but masculine scent. But not like OMG it’s a boy scent (I do love those) but like…not floral or fruity is what I am saying.
Anyways, it smells sooooo incredibly good to me. But it triggers a memory. Mind you not a full memory but a memory of a feeling. When I smell it, I feel safe and loved. It’s intense but I can’t connect it to a person.
Like I can’t place who it reminds me of just the feeling. I don't wear it all the time but I generally like to wear it to sleep or when I am feeling exceptionally stressed. It’s more of a fall scent but it makes me smile every time I smell it.
I wish I knew who wore it to evoke such a strong feeling but I can’t figure it out. All I know is whomever it was made me feel safe and loved. And I don’t necessarily mean romantic love just….love.
Gah I wish I could put it into words. I dread the day I run out because I can’t buy it again. Honestly I am tempted to message them and be like how did you make this?!?! I don’t want to sell it, I just want to me able to make it for me.
