For example, the smell of incense makes me feel scared (for a second)... it reminds me of going into a Hare Krishna temple when I was little, and if you ever find yourself in one, you would know why I was scared... so it must be absolutely true that smells bring back memories. Sometimes I think having a good sense of smell is a blessing, like when a guy wears cologne.. other times, like when you sit next to someone with BO, I think people who have no sense of smell are better off!
