Your #4 - It's said that smell is, for a lot of people, the most evocative of all the senses, and I can quite believe it.
ReplyDelete#5 - Even though, being veggie, the last time I had bacon was over 30 years ago, the smell of it frying (as when I visit my sister) gets me salivating like hell in the manner of Pavlov's dog. I just can't help it, Even now, with the mere thought of it, the juices are flowing.
#6 - I'm with you on the scent of flowers. Some are so pleasantly subtle and delicate they almost make me swoon.
