Fragrance & Memory

Fragrance elicits memory better than any other sense. But what if you can't remember why you remember that smell.

My hearing is similar. I never forget a voice! But yes, our sense of smell is primordial. Tomatoes, bell peppers, and basil, are smells etched into my mind from my earliest childhood memories. Without a doubt my earliest memories of smell.

Since I play music by ear, my ears are also sensitive. I can usually blind fold test the musicians I follow with 2 to 5 notes.

There is a memory trick to associate things with images, the more bizarre the better. I did it once in a psychology class maybe 6 years ago. I still remember some of it, not all. But the thing is, we never memorized any of it. It was only the one time experience.

[@GreenGardenGuy1]

I don't think I ever tried that. I use words for mnemonic devices. My best memory is for patterns. In plants, in music and on peoples faces.

You know that feeling when you enter a new place and have a powerful feeling that you never were here before? It’s vous ja dei

[@GreenGardenGuy1]

Now I'm really confused.

Oh Hugh! I once had a friend that did a perfect Ed Sullivan impression in reverse.

Was listening to this but your video popped up in the suggestions.
I immediately thought of 8byr old me in the Confederate Jasmine hedge, stacking Pumkins in the Fall after we harvested our farm. That many pumpkins had a smell, and combined with the Jasmine, I just never forgot about it.

Pumpkin Jasmine, wow, what a smell. Really beats death and flowers!

@@GreenGardenGuy1 just finished a mango that a friend brought up from Manatee County,Florida.
Land owner told him the tree was over 135 years old.
Incredibly flavorful, has some fiber, but I needed to floss anyway.
Not a good flavor for a chip.

@@TheDiversifiedFarmer People make salsa from Mango and papaya. It is okay but best on fish or chicken, not on chips. If it actually tasted like a mango things may have been different. The flavor had no source in nature.
