Potato salad smell lingering

Factual Questions
1

This past Friday, we had an office party. Amongst the food brought was potato salad. I hate potato salad with a deep purple passion.

What I’ve noticed over the years, is that, whenever I smell potato salad, I find that I can still smell it hours after I’m am no longer around it.

Actually, smell is not quite the word, but it’s as close as I can describe.

Any idea why this happens?

It’s your imagination. “Potao salad smell” is fairly mild doesn’t linger for hours afterward.
