Hiow is it that the scent of certain people stay with you longer than others

Being a poet, I get to hug a lot of women at open mics and poetry readings yet some I can smell their aroma for hours after we've gone our separate ways. Is it their body chemistry or the way she applies it. One woman in particular wears a toilet water that just lingers in my nostrils and keeps me thinking of her for hours. I don't want her, particularly although if she offers it to me I wouldn't turn it down. Has anyone experienced anything similar

my ex-bf... I remember the scent of his cologne. After he left for home the last time he was here, the fragrance lingered for days on the pillowcase. I could smell him for days, made me miss him so much.

I still do......

This is an interesting question. There is one girl I remember from college. She slept on my pillow in my dorm room one night and left her perfume all over it. For many years, I remembered that scent. I can still see her shadow walking past the blinds of my dorm room window to knock on my door. She was so lovely ... and a North Carolina girl too!

Occaisionally a scent will drift by and remind me of a wonderful woman from about 30 years ago...all memories return and for a moment, she's only a few hours away in my mind...

Not sure of the reason, but I remember a guy coming into my work one day and he was wearing the same cologne that a friend of my Dad use to wear when I was young. I had not seen or smelled him in at at least 15 years....

That's exactly what I mean I can smell certain ones in my clothes, shirt for example, for hours

That's also what I mean. Everytime you smell the fragrance thhey wore you think of them

Don't discount the role of pheromones as part of this. In addition to cologne and perfume, we all have our own personal scents.

My ex-lover was intoxicating to me, I could literally lie next to him and breathe in his scent for hours. If he was in the room, I wanted to be near him.............there were other things going on, but his kiss, his taste, his scent could send me reeling. When I was still seeing him, I took one of his t-shirts from his laundry basket (he knows! LOL!), but I also snatched an empty bottle of his cologne that he had thrown away without him knowing it. They are both still in the vanity drawer next to my bed..............

true, that could be it maybe some people's pheromones are more potent than others
