That's so true - our sense of smell is incredibly powerful, almost mystical in its ability to transport us back in time! The scent of my grandfather's pipe tobacco and old spice still brings me right back to being a kid again, sitting on the floor while he reads a book or plays cards. The smell of fresh coffee also reminds me of slow weekends at my parent's place, reading newspapers and lazing about - a very comforting memory!

Yeah, like how the smell of white fungus with rock sugar brings me right back to my grandma's kitchen.
