Is the reason that smells and sensations are much more evocative than images or sounds: (a) because they're fundamentally more evocative or (b) there aren't any reasonable simulacrums, so you're not constantly exposed to evocative smells and sensations the way you are with sounds and images?

It is a known fact of neurology that smell goes more directly to the memory centres of the brain than other sensory inputs. Which I suspect has something to do with it.
