Scent is always such a strong memory trigger for me. It's quite crazy how emotions can be so latched to a single scent. Yesterday, I walked past someone in the city who happened to be wearing a perfume someone I knew at uni wore. Even though I haven't seen that person for 20 years, that smell transported me back to university and being there with them.
YES. At least for me. Olfactory is THE memory trigger!!!

Indeed. Well said.
It worked for Proust as well.
