Smell ties tightly to memory through deep brain pathways
Olfactory signals reach limbic regions involved in emotion and memory with fewer relays than most senses — one reason a scent can yank a childhood scene into view.
That shortcut is evolutionary and personal: survival once depended on odor cues, and your life story still hitchhikes on them.
Perfume is time travel. The nose keeps a back door into the archive the eyes cannot open as fast.
