This is gorgeous; it reminds me of how our experience with things changes as we age, such as with a favourite childhood film as an adult, and the cycle of rediscovery.

The image in the first few stanzas are so striking!! * __ * You really succeeded in capturing how scent is tied so closely to memory!!

the straightforwardness of this is very clean, very powerful. it feels like a monologue, almost, a warning with weight from the line breaks. i like how it closes and ends with 'you never forget the smell'--giving it the definite article and repetition instead of a description

Hey, if it's any comfort, I read other people's pieces all the time before writing my own. It prompts me to think about the prompt in new ways, which gives me a more original idea than what I started with!
