Dai Fledermaus Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I've left instructions that should I ever need to go into a care home my wife is to make me a personalised Sensory Aromas kit. Much as lavender oil etc is nice, it don't really stir any memories or emotions in me. Here's some I have on my list. Not in any order of importance. 😄 Balsa Cement. Lagavulin single malt whisky Burnt Castrol R Keil Kraft or any other make of Diesel fuel Freshly applied dope Swarfega Hypoid Gear oil Creosote. Bacon sandwiches Feel free to add.

Bathing my Dog. Yorkshire. You just brought back memories of Dad's fishing kreel, the smell of river/canal, stale bread and maggots. Haven't thought of that for many years. AS for the smell of wet dogs - no thanks, that I could do without. As bad as the cat litter in the morning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
