This and olfactory are the hardest to pull off. Tactile imagery: What are the feelings of touching something? This can also come with a large amount of nostalgia, but can really only be described in terms of how rough a texture is and how much friction it generates. Otherwise, it can just kind of be tacked on for a bit more flavor. The strongest and most difficult to do imagery, it is not mandatory but pulling it off dramatically helps a level. This can often lead to this imagery becoming redundant and losing power. The problem is that smells are exceedingly difficult to describe without mentioning a noun which usually shares the same smell. Personally, as the person writing this, I have several specific smells that tie directly to childhood memories and are some of the most impactful forms of nostalgia. However, smells like mold and chemicals can be powerful and somewhat nostalgic. Olfactory imagery: What would someone smell in this place? Often times, this isn't important enough to mention.
