A child cups a lemon hanging from a tree to his face, closing his eyes and smelling intensely. As an adult, the smell of a lemon may bring back specific memories from his childhood—the ability of smell (and taste) to suddenly trigger vivid, emotional memories is called the “Proust effect” after the French novelist Marcel Proust.
