Do certain smells bring about certain memories to you? ?

Yesterday I lit up a scent stick which smelled like sandalwood and all of a sudden instant memories of the grandparents house came to my head, like a freaky flashback. Does this happen to you?

    Yes! If I smell a certain perfume, I think of my great grandma. My coach used a cotton scented lotion when she was pregnant and now if she smells it, it brings back those memories.

    If it wasn't for flash backs....I'd have no memory at all.

    When I smell certain perfumes they remind me of the loved one I lost in a boating accident.

    The smell of roses always reminds me of my parents. My dad brought my mom a bouquet of roses every Friday night since I can remember. He'd bring different colors, and different numbers, but every Friday without fail, Papa brought roses home. I always think of them when I smell roses, and it always makes me smile.

    The combination of the smells of cigarettes, bratwurst, sourkrout, and beer remind me of Octoberfest in my hometown
