“Scents evoke very, very powerful memories, whether it’s the scent of someone that you know and someone that you love, or if it’s a meal that your mother made.”
~ Blake Lively
Years ago (actually, decades ago), one of my best friends from childhood introduced me to a very nice English violet toilet water. We both used it for years. And as happens with scents, I associated the smell with good memories and friendship. Unfortunately, the scent was discontinued. My friend, who now lives in another city, called recently to tell me that she had to explain a gift that she was sending me. She had found a tester of the violet water that we liked so much at a store and she had convinced the salesperson to sell her the tester, so that she could give it to me. My wonderful friend did not want me to think that she had used the gift before sending it to me.
