Speaking of, do you relate hypnosis through musk towards smell memory?

Not really. I think for me, I always imagine it as being so intense, that it short circuit someone’s mental capacities, rendering them totally open to suggestion. The smell memory idea is a nice twist–I kind of like that. Like someone being able to smell like your dad, or your boyfriend, your brain tricking you into believing this stranger is them, when it’s someone else entirely.
