TRANSENDING WORDS AND THOUGHTS: Using Scent as Time Machine Tool
SEPTEMBER 9, 2024 • SANAE BARBER
Scent is like an invisible thread that weaves through our subconscious timelines, sewing moments together with an unshakable bond. A single whiff can transport us back to hiking through familiar woods, or a feeling that creates goose pimples on our skin, or even a song or concert we danced to years ago. This intricate connection between scent and memory is not merely poetic; it’s deeply rooted in our biology and transcends words and thoughts. It's experienced throughout our body.Our sense of smell is unique, operating through the olfactory bulb, which is directly linked to the limbic system—the brain's emotional center. This proximity is why scents can evoke powerful emotions and vivid memories. Which is why wearing a scent can be a powerful tool to create new memories, new nostalgia. I love knowing that I am going to a special event or date and creating a connection with scent that could be an everlasting memory. That’s nostalgia at work and a way to invoke new ones. Scent is like having a Time Machine that can transport us to an old memory, bring us into the present moment, or create a new place we want to cherish forever.
Because each scent tells a story, each note holds a memory waiting to be forged from the future. As we engage with aromas, we are crafting new memories that will one day become nostalgic treasures.
To harness the nostalgic potential of scent, we can be intentional about our experiences. Light a candle while you read a book, wear a fragrance for a special occasion. These scents will become markers in your memory, tied to particular moments and emotions, waiting to be revisited. I find this very exciting, precisely because it is an experience tied to such an emotional part of our psyche that isn't attached to words which can limit how we feel. Feeling should be in the body, which is the place scents reside.
Choosing scents to bond with is a journey or an adventure. Like finding a new tool for navigating intentions. Each fragrance we encounter is an opportunity to create something beautiful—a new nostalgia waiting to unfold. So, the next time you catch a scent that resonates, take a moment to feel where it hits you. Allow it to transport you, to inspire you, and to remind you of the intricate tapestry of your life.
In this dance of memory and scent, we find a profound connection to our past and a canvas for our future. Let’s savor every note as we weave our stories, one fragrant moment at a time.
