Remembering Your First Fragrance!
Remembering your first ever fragrance and the emotions associated with it is unique to each one of us. From feeling oh-so grown-up when wearing your first scent to school to triggering long-lost memories of a special occasion, everyone will have their reason why it holds a special place in their heart. Do you remember yours?
ALZHEIMER’S RESEARCH UK: WORLD ALZHEIMER’S MONTH
While many people will easily recall their first fragrance, others may feel that moment slipping away.
Sadly, memory loss is one of the most common symptoms of dementia, a condition which is affecting almost one million people in the UK today. There are currently no treatments to slow, stop or prevent dementia – meaning so many precious memories are at risk.
The only way to put a stop to dementia, is to support life-changing research and no action is too small to take.
Does perfume bring memory?
When you smell something, it sends signals to the brain's smell centre – the olfactory bulb, which is directly linked to areas of the brain that control emotion, memory, mood and behaviour. This explains why smelling something can trigger vivid memories and emotions.
