Scents have a direct line to memory—one whiff can pull you into a forgotten moment with no warning. But the fragrance that best matches your memory says everything about how you hold the past: do you archive it, reinterpret it, or try to outrun it?

This quiz doesn’t ask about your favorite perfume—it asks what kind of emotional aroma lingers in your past. Is it sweet nostalgia? Smoky lessons? Fresh reinvention? The fragrance of your memory reveals how you process what’s happened to you—what you keep, what you transform, and what you try to forget.

Through seven richly scented questions, we’ll uncover the way your mind works behind closed doors. This is about memory not as fact, but as scent trail—how it affects your future, how it shapes your self-understanding, and how it shows up when you least expect it.
