Photo: Courtesy of Ellis Brooklyn Call it the Proust effect: Memories are often triggered by smells. Scientific studies confirm that, of all the senses, smell offers the best recall. In Scent Memories, the Cut asks people about the scents they associate with different times in their lives.

A pleasant surprise smells like: Chocolate. Really raw, dark, almost bitter chocolate. I just love chocolate. I love everything about it. Sunday morning smells like: Blueberry pancakes. My husband is the pancake king. Self-anointed; no one anointed him. But he makes blueberry pancakes on Sunday mornings and he’s really good at them.
