Ever caught a smell that made a memory crash into you out of nowhere?
I was riding my bike past a bakery when something in the air stopped me, this warm, sugary scent with a bit of spice. But it wasn’t bread or pastries. It reminded me of someone I used to know, someone I hadn’t thought about in years. I realized later they used to wear Baccarat Rouge 540. It only lasted a second, but it hit like a wave like that person is near, just by my side. Has a random scent ever dragged you back into a feeling you weren’t expecting?
