+ smells & odors (very important because they are so strongly linked to memory)

+ tastes and flavors and foods

+ sounds & rhythms

+ sights, colors, etc.

Generally when people describe something they tend to give a conclusion instead of the details which lead to the conclusion: “I saw a man at the corner, he looked mean so I crossed the street.” vs “A ragged serviceman in his old gray uniform slouched against a lamppost, and its yellow glare cast his long shadow ominously across my path. But the breeze brought me a whiff of the gunpowder and oily rags of an artillery gunner. It was then I glanced at his dark face: Joe Stewart!”

That sort of thing.

what does it smell like, how does it sound.

Details based on the 5 senses

Good luck!
