Such things happen and when they do, they can be powerful.
I had a girlfriend I was mad about but we had a terrible breakup and I was crushed. When I got back into the dating game (but not completely healed), I gave a bottle of perfume to a woman I was dating. The problem was that it was the same fragrance as my ex-girlfriend wore. When the new woman put some on and I got a wiff, I literally came close to fainting, I was so overwhelmed with the memories of the gone-but-not-forgotten ex-girlfriend. All the longing and desire came back in one emotional tidal wave.
Yes, scent memory can be very powerful.
