As to scent, I guess I tend to have a hard time explaining things with emotional connected-ness because to me it’s not ‘these are the five physical senses yay!’ and explain them. Mine blend into one another very well, I associate Sight with Hearing, they are semi-synonymous. Scent with sight and/or hearing, Touch overlaps everything and taste tends to apply a little here and there. It’s the only one that really sits by itself. So, I associate people with scents I know which can be described as objects/feelings/tastes/look
Just want to interject: it sounds like you’re describing synesthesia.
