Smell is naturally your strongest sense. This is often forgotten because something you hear or see is easier to describe.

So your sense of smell helps you taste food and drink. Within the animal kingdom sense of smell is very important, a wonderful example of this is for example with calves and cubs where sense of smell helps them to be able to recognize their own mother.

One obvious function we discuss in this blog is smell and your memory. In fact, we as humans have an olfactory memory. This allows you to remember, for example, events from your childhood. For example I got to know someone who every Sunday with her whole family, eats vegetable soup at grandpa and grandma's house. As soon as she smells the scent of a maggi plant, she immediately thinks of that time.
But the same goes for certain perfume. We have heard very often that someone used to have such a nice vacation and wore the same fragrance there every time. That fine memory is now linked to that fragrance.

This, of course, can be in positive and negative ways. A certain smell can also be linked to a less pleasant memory, which is why you often see a person prefer to avoid that smell forever. In short, smell is an important part of the human body and your state of mind.

This is also why it is so important to pick a fragrance that suits you well. Every time you spray on your perfume can make for a happy start to the day.
