Whether it is the soft sweet smell of a newborn baby, the aroma of a fine wine, the acrid tobacco smell of a fine cigar, or the smell of flowers, our sense of smell is the most powerful of all five senses.  These aromas and/or scents create a sensory experience that triggers a rush of memories often long past or even seemingly forgotten. Of course based on preferences, lifestyles, and other factors, what is beautifully pleasant to one, can be extremely offensive to another based on those introductory recollections.
