Woman tells 25-year-old boyfriend to distance himself from his twin sister who says she likes his pheromones: 'The insecurity will feed the girlfriend'

Smell is a powerful thing. They say it's the sense that's most closely related to memory. It's easy to tell this just from personal experience. Sometimes a smell will take you all the way back, like if you smell that deodorant your crush used to wear or that type of eraser you would use in middle school. Without you even realizing it, you're back in your body at a different place at a different time. It's an amazing thing.

Scent can also remind us of people. Growing up, everybody's house had a smell. You could tell whose house you were in just by the whiff you'd take after opening the door. Some of those scents made you feel good because you had positive associations with them. You made good memories there and felt safe, so the scent was comforting to you. But other smells don't make you feel so good. If I ever got a whiff of my childhood doctor's office, I'd be transported in a second and I would not like it one bit. This is all to say it's no wonder we have strong associations with them.
