The power of smell to evoke a particular place or time in your life is well known. I am currently wearing Burberrry For Men which previously had only been used on holiday. Now at work when I catch the scent I am, briefly, transported to a different time and a different place, invariably foreign, always warm, and a wonderful feeling of contentment and relaxation washes over me. The power of smell. And coming home from work tonight the first thing I noticed stepping into the hallway was the strong aroma of a curry which my wife had prepared for dinner. Warm, spicy, comforting, a cuddly sort of 'wrap me up in a warm chapati and eat me' smell . In an instant the ice and snow melted away and I was in a better place. The power of smell.
