French author, Marcel Proust, famously wrote about how the smell of a tea-soaked biscuit triggered a long-forgotten memory from childhood. For a long time, scientists have suggested that smells have a powerful impact on distant memories. The modern perfume industry relies on this fact to develop perfumes that encourage us to connect emotionally to smell.

許多人都知道，法國作家馬塞爾•普魯斯特曾寫到關於一片浸泡過茶的餅乾氣味，是如何勾起早已遺忘許久的兒時記憶。長久以來，科學家已表示，氣味對塵封已久的回憶有很大的影響力。今日的香水產業則憑藉著這個事實，製造出香水來使我們在情感上與氣味相連結。
