Sense Of Smell Day

Without being able to smell the difference between onion and potato, it’d be difficult to tell them apart. Smell is the oldest sense. People can detect at least one trillion distinct scents. You can smell fear and disgust. Scent cells are renewed every 30 to 60 days. Women have a better sense of smell than men.

Studies show that 75% of emotions are triggered by smell which is linked to pleasure, well-being, emotion and memory – handy when you want people to buy your products. One of the most evocative smells from childhood is crayons. A survey found that 85% of all people remembered their childhood when they caught the smell of Crayola crayons and the newer crayon-scented coloured pens.
