Have you ever experienced going on an extended trip away from home, and getting terribly homesick after a few days? It could happen during a business trip, or in a college dorm room, and even in a new home after a recent move. Homesickness is not easy to escape from. You could be enjoying the sights of Paris one moment and suddenly find yourself thinking about your mom’s cooking after a whiff of newly baked bread. Many research has been made on the relationship between smells and memory, and while there is no solid explanation yet, it was noted that scents can be an even more powerful trigger than sight. This is why bringing familiar scents are advised for those who have to leave home for a few days and may experience homesickness.
