Did you know that your sense of smell has more impact on your emotions than any of your other senses?
As far as we know, this is because the olfactory bulbs are actually directly connected to the limbic system of our brains.
Your limbic system includes the amydala--thought to be the seat of our emotions, and the hippocampus, though to be the center of associated learning.
So, that is why certain odors can trigger specific memories and the emotions associated with them AND why scents and fragrances can be used to trigger certain emotions and memories.
Did you know smart marketers incorporate scent into their logo design? Both products and department store brands use scientifically formulated and patented scents to help identify themselves in our minds.
Did you know humans can identify over 10,000 distinct smells?
We are more influenced by smell than you might think. Smells cross the blood brain barrier and are even more influential than sight or sound when it comes to our emotions.
