Nonsense? I think not. It's just a word for a smell that brings back a memory, a word that brings back a memory, etc. I don't even think it would have to be a bad memory, although in psychology that's what it's usually used to mean. It's a word for something that "triggers" a strong emotion or memory in another. And warning people about them is a courtesy so they can avoid being upset if they know mention of a certain subject is likely to upset them. That's all. You don't have to believe in it, but nonsense is a strong word for something that is used here as a way to help people protect themselves.
