Not really. A scent is not just a scent. It evokes memories, happiness, pain and every other emotions associated with the scent. The scent of Chicken Noodle soup reminds me of my mother. She would normally make me soup whenever I’m sick. Amarige de Givenchy reminds me of my one true love. And this soy candle, as amazing as a discount window, evokes a memory of an era. Each scent captures memories of a certain place in New York, particularly iconic intersections, like this one below.

The original leaders of the hipsters created not only an accepting world for other artistic-types, but also sought out their own escapades, even if they seemed float through the world. ”
