“For me scent can trigger very specific memories and moods”

So true. In about 1964 I started wearing Cover Girl powder from a brown compact with a mirror. The scent was unique - probably Noxzema. Almost 60 years later when I put on Cover Girl foundation the same scent takes me back to my dad’s car, sneaking on face powder.

And a whiff of Wind Song perfume takes me back to a picnic by a pond one special day.

Sounds like a line out of a novel, or a movie :-)

I love that. The olfactory senses can really be strong memory triggers.

If my memory serves, the commercial for Windsong was....

"Windsong Stays on my Mind"

Truth in advertising for once.
