Olfactory, flitted

He had always heard that the nose was thebest link to the past, that the olfactory sense was the strongest for tapping into forgotten history, and now some long-stores remembrances of his own childhood flitted through his mind. [2, pp. 83-84]

As can be surmised from the above paragraph, olfactory refers to the sense of smell.

To flit is to pass quickly, swiftly or lightly.
