Perfume

I don't usually wear any kind of perfume since I came to Canada. But, I keep a collection of few ones and I try to smell their aroma once in a while. Some scents can surprisingly activate parts of the brain which brings back all the hidden memories emotionally attached with. Sometimes a simple smell of fresh cut wood or that of the papers in a new book are very effective in clearing the vague images of a specific situation in the past. I think when someone says 'I like this perfume', it means that she/he has been pleased subconsciously by the memories that are brought up in the mind already.
