Research shows that memories are often triggered by particular scents. For example, the aroma of spiced cider sparks images of an apple orchard or creating Caramel apples as a child. What comes to mind for you with these scents?
- A mixture of nutmeg and cinnamon
- Warm cinnamon and vanilla
- Fresh pine
- Apples and cinnamon rolls
- Cinnamon and clove
- Oranges and autumn flowers
Chances are, these scents generate images somehow associated with a comforting memory experienced during the fall. Many people burn candles or fragrance oils with these scents to really connect with these memories. Those who don't burn fragrance, often choose to bake amazing desserts. They share the desserts with others, enjoying the fall scents and creating new memories in the process.
