Reminiscing Your Childhood Memory with the Scents

Speaking of childhood memory, when do we often think of those times? It must have been the moment we accidentally met an old childhood friend, went back to old places, or found a favorite childhood toy. Even smelled certain scents that we are familiar with can make us unintentionally remember childhood moments as well.

When you smell a familiar scentม the brain will work to reminisce certain emotions and memories in the past. This is why when smelling certain scents that you may not have experienced for many years, you can still bring back memories of your childhood.

If we talk about scents that help us turn back time to our childhood, we must think of the scents that we often smelled when we were children. Apart from the mother’s scent that we are familiar with, there may also be scents that are often added to various baby products that we used when we were little children.
