I have had strong memories triggered by smells some to something I can't really remember I just know I've smelt it before - for me it's mostly sight things - by the way - can you tell me how you managed to put the accents over the 'e's of deja vu when posting this question please - would very much like to know - thankyou in advance?

most? sense of smell. second, hearing. I can smell Old spice and feel my grand dad's presence. I can hear my dad say my grandma's name and I am back at her side in the kitchen.

yes, certain smells bring back memories, but sounds do it to me, too.
