I've held onto a bottle of my mom's perfume since I was 14.. the same bottle she used 14 years ago.. half my life I've lived with the last drops of her perfume, and every time I smell it I Instantly get overtaken by intense emotions

I am the same way about my Mom's fragrance: Oscar de la Renta. This is Mom and no matter if one million women have worn it through the years, it is her.

Scent. So powerful, for better or for worse. I have a friend who’ll buy a new fragrance whenever they go on a vacation or prior to some special occasion so as whenever they are feeling bluesy they’ll wear that scent and it’ll subliminally embrace that that positive experience. It sounds curious, but it actually works

This is why it is important to "Reset" our sense of smell daily by spending time outdoors in fresh air, free from artificial smells.

Thank you for this fantastic ted talk. I myself have been an advocate for the use of natural fragrances for years. the smells we know before we are born. Through lectures for dementia I give advice for more general well-being through smell. A wonderful thing that nature has given us.

I guess Google knew to recommend this to me due to my experience of suffering anosmia. I find a fulfilling life despite having a nearly non-existent sense of smell, but there are some things that are simply not the same. I truly miss walking through a deep, damp forest and smelling the richness of the wet earth.

When she said she was a collector of "scent memories", I thought she did what I do when my allergies are at bay and I can truly smell things. I run around sniffing or inhaling as many things as I can so I can store the memory away. My boyfriend, the cat, a fresh jar of ginger. Whatever I can get in front of my face. Sometimes my allergies are very bad and I cook by sight and by memory. My daughter was in a generous mood one day and she compared me to Beethoven. Not by a long shot, but everyone enjoys my cooking so maybe a memory of scent rather than a scent memory is really a thing.

I had covid and lost my sense of smell. Was so happy. Because I could smell my little siblings, even if they didn't smell that bad, I'd get disgusted but when I couldn't, I hugged them as much as I could. I could live with the dogs without crying about their smell as well. I dreaded the day I was gonna get better. :') Smell is really important and gives me so much emotion but if it's not a good smell, well, no oof

Sensory integration? Cuz can’t an over responsive sense be due to that at times? Not sure just going off of what I know.

I have been 26 days now without smoking cigarettes and have bought many fragrances in order to treat myself and indulge in all the smells especially gourmand sweet and tasty smells. This has comforted and delighted me through the process of quitting smoking.

Deep Dish, well done. Keep up the good work. Not an ex smoker, but recently gone down the rabbit hole of perfume buying after being someone who only owned 1 or 2 fragrances at a time. Now have over 20 bottles, plus numerous samples and mini sets😬 What are you buying for yourself and what is your current favourite? 😊🇦🇺

Great Tedtalk ~ In my first aid class we talk about the region of the brain where the olfactory system is housed and how smell is never analytical but emotional. I'll have students write about a childhood memory of smell and it is always fascinating to read the essays. Rarely have they ever thought about the emotional attachment to that smell or the bad memory affiliated with the smell. The olfactory system is one of the most primitive systems humans have and is fascinating. Thanks Holladay for sharing your thoughts and research!

Truly fascinating.. Is it not? For me, it is not really about memories, certain smells trigger particular emotions - Serene ones.

Why do my sweat smell like wild fragrance flowers, I don't use any perfume.

Personally, I think we should be more responsible and respectful of people's sense of smell since it is so heavily attached to memory. As we know science, we should respect them and educate them. It is interesting to me that there are so many disclaimers at the end of new drug advertisements yet not with scent. Scent affects our emotions deeply. It affects purchase decisions. I did a speaking engagement at P&G almost 10 years ago about this subject: How Scent Affects Purchase Decisions. It does. Making the customer aware will not greatly negatively affect anything. That is my personal belief. I believe if you are more inclusive with them and share what you know, it only builds trust and community. Let them decide if they want to purchase or not.

This makes me sad because I can’t smell... 😥

Interesting!

like, I'm very good with memory and with all these things you know, I don't know how it took me so long to research the sense of smell, I've always related various smells to several things, there are some that remind me of someone or somewhere or food, but speaking of environments and people, I've always had it, and like, I can detect it very well and people even think it's weird LOL Once, for example, I was driving out going to school with my father and I said because I say out of nowhere, I said "what a smell of the Middle Ages" like I've never been there lol then she said "gods worth it, crazy, what touches are these bia that you have my good lol" then you know, it was probably somewhere I Smelling like that guys who help kids to go to the jump , you know those for birthday, and I really talk to the person I'm next to, like I feel out of nowhere so I tell my friend. When I go to the movies there's always someone with a stronger perfume, so whenever I smell that, I relate to the character in the movie, or something. I always say that smells disperse something in us and they also disperse memories or even strange feelings. I smell a perfume and I already remember such a thing or person, and there are some that bring me strange feelings, and the odor is important yes, incredible as it may seem, but at least for me I often can't stay in the place where I'm smelling that reminds me of something bad. I smell it and remember a person and it brings me something kind of bad I smell a person I don’t even like him anymore and when I smell it brings me something weird and bad, my heart starts to burn idk Anyway, i love this!! I finally researched

I wonder how the smell of clean affects authoritarian personalities. As understanding how disgust sensitivity was connected to morality and how it’s responsible for most of our insane social ills. Plus people in disgust can’t think straight at all, they are actually hijacked, the more I saw how this affected people it was nuts. We could also experiement how smell of clean affects those high in orderliness vs openess to experience.

Then there are also chemo signals which are for a lot of negative emotions but also like testosterone, aggression, dominance etc and fertility. Positive emotions oddly not so much. And the way they show up is they qualitatively provide information in the form of sensations emotions etc, they essentially prime the brain 🧠 in a state that then gets confirmed by visual or auditory stimuli, but none the less you where primed.

I have the captured fragrance... of wet soil of first rain...

👏👏
