Scent

The first time I heard it was on a commercial for men's cologne: Scent is the strongest sense tied to memory. I recently aquired a bottle of my old perfume. It's been my absolute favorite since I smelled it the first time.

Inis.

It smells like the breeze off an ocean to me, which is funny considering the translation is the Power of the Sea. Anyhow, every time I spray it on or smell it on my shirt I have small mental flashbacks. Just little ones, nothing big. I have flashes of summers, the beach, college, boyfriends, high school. It's so weird to be sitting at work and catch a whiff of your own perfume and then suddenly be transported mentally somewhere else, even if it is just for a few seconds.
