Yes, absolutely true! Sometimes even a small scent can bring back deep memories—not just of places, but of people we’re emotionally connected to. A particular perfume, herbal oil, or even hospital disinfectant can instantly remind us of someone close or a specific moment.Smell truly has a strong connection with our brain. I feel scent therapy could really help in healthcare—especially to calm patients, support memory in dementia, and reduce stress.
