The sense of smell can have a powerful affect on memory by bringing back past experiences. For example, I associate Christmas with a lot of olfactory pleasures. The smell of cedar trees, food, burning wood and mothballs. Not many people may associate Christmas with mothballs (naphthalene).
In our old farm house, All of the Christmas stuff was stored in a deep dark closet with lots of mothballs. At Christmas, the living room was filled with the odor of naphthalene and cedar.
I like the odor of cattle, dogs, even the faint odor of a skunk. One of my favorite odors is bunt gun powder.
A scene in the movie Apocalypse Now always struck me as unique:
