Like for me, the smell of craft paint reminds me of being a little girl in kindergarten, or the smell of Plumeria reminds me of being at a Luau on my Honeymoon. Every time I smell these things it is like I am there all over again.

Definitely...
Jasmine - My parents.. This smell comforts me like nothing else.
There's a certain scent that's a trademark of my mom. I absolutely adore it. It reminds me of hugging her and just being close.
Basically, there are a million different smells that represent the million different memories i have.

Absolutely! When I was growing up my mother worked in a cannery where they made tomato sauce and I hated when she had to work. Every fall when canning season came I could smell the tomatos. Every once in a while when I'm in a certain place, I smell it and it brings back the most vivid memories of childhood. Also, as a teenager, we used to take long walks to the park during the summer when people were mowing and watering their lawns on hot summer days. I am instantly transported back to the summer I was a young teen when I smell freshly mowed lawn. The scents bring back much more intense memories than pictures do.

Definitely, it can have such a powerful impact , for example, my grandfather
ran an autobody shop on weekends out back of his house and I used to visit when I was a little girl. A long time ago, however, just recently I was at a shop where a car was getting painted and it was amazing the flashback that I got.
Also, don't forget about sounds

Yes, it pretty much does and its not surprising. In fact, scents and odors evokes memories in our brain better than colors or figures do. You can say youll remember a fragrance but not the face. This has something to do with olfactory nerves and memory-making.

There is a word to describe this sensation - redolent.
For me, it's the smell of freshly baked bread - reminds me of when I was a small child in the kitchen with my Mum.
