Introduction

What are memories?A memory is the capacity the human brain has to save, store and recall information and past experiences. Even if memory is very important, the sense of smell is also essential to capture scents that are related to memories.

Definition

The sense of smell is the sense which is more connected to memory. Our nose is able to detect some scents that remind you of special memories. The sense of smell is very hard to understand, so it became the topic of many studies during the years. Our capacity to smell can alert us to bad, dangerous or pleasuring scents.  According to Air Aroma online, our sense of smell can alert us to dangerous scents, like gas leak.

Sharing personal memories

I would like to share my personal memories. My real life example is the scent of sand. The scent of sand reminds me of my childhood, when I played with my friends at a square. I remember the scent of sand because always, while I was playing, I fell down. When my mom and I arrived at the square, every morning, the sand was always wet and we never discovered why.

Sharing more personal memories 

There are also other memories that I could share. In Stance Dual I remember the perfume of a friend. I always stayed with him and we always played together. He has already left the school and we lost personal contact. Nowadays we rarely talk, moreover the conversation is by Whatsapp. I have great memories with him, and although we had some fights, it wasn’t anything so serious and we liked each other very much. I hope we can see each other again! I miss him!

Conclusion

Concluding, I can say that our sense of smell is exceptional, because we can identify meaningful scents that can remind us of something or someone. These smells give us the chance to appreciate the great things of our lives.
