RE: scent

My maternal grandmother lived in downtown Indianapolis and every time I have
a heavy metallic, taste combined with coal grit, I remember her.  (No lovely
scents there.  I don't think grandma knew anything about fragrances.  But
that coal fired furnace and the heavy pollution from nearby factories do
take me back.)  I guess it doesn't matter what the scent is.  It will take
one back to memories long since past. :>)

Blessings,
Bonnie (SW OH - zone 5)

I wonder if they still MAKE it (Evening in Paris).  Not that I would wear 
it...but I'd love to just open the bottle and sniff it every now and 
then...brings back memories.  Funny how a scent can take you back in time.
