You are walking down the street or out shopping and suddenly you smell something.
You are immediately taken back to another time in your life, reminded of an event, a person, a place!
Not only can smell bring on a flood of memories, it can also influence people's moods and even affect their work performance.
This is because the nose is part of the brain's limbic system, an area so closely associated with memory and feeling it's sometimes called the "emotional brain," smell can call up memories and powerful responses almost instantaneously.
