Comforting smells

Today I did some washing and hung the clothes on the airer to dry. And all afternoon I've been aware of this sense of my Mum around me. I've just realised why.

I used a new detergent today and it turns out it has the same fragrance as the one my Mum always used. So now the apartment smells like my Mum's house used to. It's very comforting and it's made me smile.

It's funny how you can have all these triggers to bad things and forget that sometimes there are triggers that make you smile. That remind you of something comforting. That make you feel better.

Who'd have thought that the smell of washing detergent could feel like a hug?! :oD
