Can anyone else smell memories?

Does anyone else have this thing I've got - when I sing a particular nursery rhyme to my child, it triggers a really specific smell. I never smell this smell in any other part of my life, only when I'm singing this song. It's not unpleasant but it is really distinctive. Is this a thing for anyone else? I've had this as long as I remember but only for this particular nursery rhyme!

I also have several smells that will trigger memories, but this is the other way around, like a memory triggering a smell.

Weird!

I know EXACTLY what you mean!

Yes!

100%.

You’ve described it much better than I ever could.

Yes, definitely happens to me sometimes.

Interesting! I'm glad to hear I'm not alone. It is a strange thing - also if I "think" the rhyme in my head the smell isn't triggered, only when I sing it out loud. Brains are funny things!
