Scents In My Cabinet

 Why do I love scents and colognes?

 1. Scents arouse feelings

Did you remember the girl you bumped on a mall escalator who just smell so heavenly? And did you remember the emotions and the passion that was triggered as a result of it?

Perfumes and colognes are more than meets the eye.  They are more than just a scent or aroma. They have the potential to wake up feelings such as love, lust, passion, happiness, yearning, and sensuality.

Like the man mentioned above, a man walks past a woman and smelled her scent. He picked up her fragrance ... and now he wants to know her better and is excited about her.

Scent and pheromones are potent at evoking feelings and can be used to tremendous effect.

2. Perfumes remind you of your past

Scents can remind you of some memories of your past - some vignettes in your life that were almost buried in oblivion. They can send you back in time and remind you of someone and what you were doing. Have you ever whiffed or sniffed somebody else scent and the time machine brought you instantaneously to that magical moment?

Scents are influential in this mode.  Maybe your ex wore this type of cologne and every time you got the puff of its fume an avalanche of memories comes cascading waking you up from the pleasant dream.

Scents can dictate your brain ... as you look back, recall and relive the joyous feelings of things gone by - like traveling through time in your past.
