Did you know, that if you smell something one day, small air bourne molecules of the smell can stay in your nose and get coated by mucus/dust. Then over following weeks, when mucus, dust, bogies etc are removed, fall out, retracted, the molecules can become free again. People who snort cocaine and stop for months can find granules of it 6 months later in their nose! You might have smelt someones coconut shampoo when walking past them, or eaten a bounty or something!
