What is it about scent that provokes memories, mood and impressions? Smelling chocolate chip pancakes at my house gets kids out of bed for school. Have you recently caught a whiff of the perfume or cologne that a special someone in high school or college wore? Is that a flashback or what? Friends recalled the smell of puppy breath when holding our little black Lab, Sasha, when she joined our family last year. Recently, the smell of the condo we stayed at in Florida reminded me of my grandparents’ house. >>
