Long term memories are stored in the hypothalamus as you sleep at night.

Smells are tied to more primitive structures in in the brain. I'm a little rusty on why it makes the memories so strong, but there's quite a bit of research out on that one.

Trauma is also encoded differently, but there's a lot of garbage research that muddies the waters on that particular subject.
