Nostalgic christmas feeling

A toast to the Proust effect

Ever noticed how a familiar scent can instantly take you back to a moment from years ago? That's the Proust effect: the ability of scent to bring back vivid memories, often accompanied by the emotions you felt at the time.

Unlike our other senses, scent has a particularly direct connection to the parts of the brain involved in emotion and memory. That's why scent is such a powerful tool.
