unforgettable
Impossible to forget
Unforgettable describes something so striking, moving, or significant that it stays in memory permanently.
The word carries positive connotations more often than negative ones: an unforgettable performance, an unforgettable vacation, an unforgettable first kiss.
When applied to negative experiences, it often suggests trauma or deep impact: The accident was unforgettable.
Something unforgettable leaves a lasting impression that time cannot diminish.
