What memories does smell evoke for me? Imagine walking into a bakery: Breathe in the sweet, pleasant aroma of fresh pastries and cakes. Notice the neatly stacked cookies and how the worn wooden floors have been freshly mopped. The warm, welcoming room contrasts with the bitter cold just outside the door. Flash forward 20 years later. By now, the “Fresh Bread” sign has probably been forgotten, as well as the intricate display cake and the bell that clicked as the door opened. Most would likely…
