The Sensation of Lavender The sweet notes create an aromatic smell and taste, causing a coupling of sense stimulation, stimulating dopamine by taste and smell. The connection of the flower/herb to the ground, in Italy where my grandmother is buried, “something else?” The love particle, the love within one thing, transferred to another creating a stimulus that reaches into the deepest flash bulbs within the mind, awakening nostalgic sensations and creating new memories. My grandmother's memory lives on.
