And it is sad when the person, with whom the scent is associated, is no longer in one's life. Always glad to see you at Poetry Jam, Nick.<br />Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07366010389846904663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-42531495075954375292014-03-06T10:33:19.242-11:002014-03-06T10:33:19.242-11:00What a bitter-sweet and nostalgic poem this is.

She always put some one before going out with my dad. I hadn't seen that perfume for decades and couldn't remember its fragrance. Then one day fairly recently I found some in a store. As soon as I smelled it, it was all familiar again.

You are right about scents tapping memories. I saw somewhere that scent memory is one of the key things they test when diagnosing Alzheimers. It would be sad to lose those.Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10811244438243200435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8417961221792880115.post-72207692984306350392014-03-06T04:33:12.987-11:002014-03-06T04:33:12.987-11:00Perfume presses the instant recall button.
