KZN shares smells associated to memories: Smells like nostalgia!

Loading player...
A waft of something unexpected has the ability to take you back to your childhood or a specific moment in your life. It is the power of our sense of smell and nostalgia. While all the senses are connected with memories, smell in particular can spark a flurry of emotions. Very often you cannot identify the odour, but you can identify a memory that is associated with it. For example, the first time you smelled malva pudding, you may have been in your grandmother's house and every time you smell it, whether you have made it or someone else, it takes you back to those days.
