🌿 The Power of Scent: How Smells Trigger Memories & Emotions

Have you ever caught a familiar scent and instantly traveled back in time? 🚀 Scents are deeply tied to our memories, thanks to the brain’s olfactory bulb and limbic system, which process smells and emotions together.

👃 Why does this happen?
✅ The olfactory bulb connects directly to emotional and memory centers in the brain.
✅ Scents bypass the thalamus, triggering memories almost instantly.
✅ Cultures use fragrances in rituals to create lasting emotional connections.

Whether it’s fresh-baked cookies reminding you of childhood or a perfume evoking a past relationship, smells have a powerful impact on our emotions and memories.
