Our sense of smell is more complex than you think! Over the millennia, we’ve evolved our noses to become high-tech instruments that can measure the chemical composition of the air around us. What you call “something stinky,” or “the scent of roses,” is really a complicated interaction between your brain, the nerves and sensors in your nose and mouth, and chemical compounds floating through the air around us. This infographic aims to demystify the science of scent. We’ll explain how it all works, as well as the stories behind the smell of roses, perfume, bad breath, seaweed, and more. Join us for an informative adventure!
