miss b loves........gorgeous scents

scent: noun  'A distinctive smell especially one that is pleasant.'  perfume........fragrance .......aroma....


I love the way a fragrance can evoke a particular place, memory, person or event. Psychologists refer to this as the 'Proust Effect' after the French writer Marcel Proust first described this connection between scent and recollection. Sometimes when a person walks by, you get a hint of his or her perfume - you realize you know that smell and for a moment you slip back in time to a particular place........
