Scent is a powerful thing. The slightest whiff of a particular scent can rouse memories you haven't thought about in years, evoking unexpected emotions. The fragrance of my mom's favorite hand lotion will bring memories of her flooding back to me. For others the smell of oil might take them back to their first car, or a day spent with their dad working on the old jalopey. The smell of leather might remind you of that cool guy you dated in twelfth grade.
Since I write romantic suspense, you're probably thinking--fragrances…romance…I know where she's going with this. Trust me when I say…probably not.
