Our sense of smell can influence mood, physical well-being, memory, emotions, sexual desire, our hormones, and our immune system.

As humans we can distinguish over 10,000 different and distinctive smells.

It is important to understand that throughout every day and night of our lives we smell a wide variety of odors without being aware of them at all.

Smell, taste and a myriad of receptors contribute to distinguishing flavor.

Your sense of smell is least acute in the morning; our ability to perceive odors increases as the day wears on.

A woman's sense of smell is keener than a man's.

Your nose can smell directionally, telling you where an odor originates.
