Do you know why scents can have strong emotional reactions? Coz the smell receptors are located in an area of our anatomy that is close to the memory processor of the brain. So we smell stuff and it triggers a memory (good, bad, or ugly).
As far as smelling fabric......nope.

OK you guys are opening up a whole new world. first there was petting the fabric-i had never heard of that. then you were seeing faces in the fabric-ok that one is closer, because i see things in woodgrain, etc.(Ievensee a cat in our church's stain glass window)NOW your talking about smelling the fabric? i feel so sheltered because these things never occurred to me. you notice i didn't mention the land o lakes butter picture- that's a whole nuther discussion! LOL

Did you know that there's such a thing as "scent exhaustion"? If you smell something long enough, the scent receptors in your nose stop processing the odor, so you stop smelling it. :lol: :lol: :lol: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:[/quote]
Unfortunately that has never worked for me in the case of the men in my family and their nasty habit of, ahem, passing gas!

Not to pursue this topic, but we blame it on the cats! Enough said!
