What are the smells of home for you? Is there some scent that instantly reminds you of home or childhood? The scents we identify with home, comfort, safety or relaxation will vary for each of us, but scent is a powerful memory and emotional trigger.
Some comforting smells:
- vanilla
- chicken soup
- cut grass
- apple pie
- hot cocoa
- cinnamon
- fresh laundry
- wood fire
All the smells in our homes will not be pleasant, but the ones that make us feel most at home generally are. Unwanted smells can be gotten rid of by burning candles.
