Collection of smell memories of home and first smell memories of London-Britain by Semra Eren-Nijhar https://bit.ly/2WpQz1c
“Smell is a tool of our belonging, identity and heritage and therefore it is important to find out how we relate to our olfactory heritage.”
– Semra Eren-Nijhar –
My first smell memory is the Turkish citrus ‘kolonya – cologne’ and smell of coffee. These odours carry great significance and are a reflection of my upbringing in Turkey and Germany. They still play a great part in connecting me with my past, present and the future. And that’s why I was inspired to the small focus research on our olfactory heritage.

My scent memory is wearing Revlon CHARLIE in my twenties ( I am now 70) I loved the smell but then I became pregnant with my first child and thereafter could never wear it again because the smell just made me feel as you do in the early stages of pregnancy … nauseous! Such a shame …but not an unhappy memory . Just one that I have stored .
I loved SAMSARA after that for many years and still have a body lotion left , I don’t use it but the smell transports me back to a younger life. A heady smell . I found my signature perfume in my 40’s and still wear it to this day Chanel ALLURE , I do not feel dressed without it but of course after wearing it for so many years I cannot smell it so much but I love the subtleness of it .
