J'adore and I


I cannot forget smells, fragrances.
Does it ever happen to you to walk around and all of a sudden to be hit by a very familiar waft ? The last time this happened to me it was on Friday as I entered the bus from the airport to the hotel; something brought back memories of a dear friend and I was transported a few years back in time.
My olfactory memory does not forget anything. It  knows what home smells like, what my mother used to smell when we were kids, what old friends had for favorite perfumes, what old fragrances I used once and are associated with various times of my life smell like. Just like J’adore; it reminds me of  January 2000 and the trip to the UK. I liked it ever since, it’s a different kind of friend I every now and then enjoy meeting. Like tonight…
