Olfactory effects on people


Smell, the most evocative and mysterious of the five senses

 

The olfactory message is the most powerful, because it acts on a communications channel that is not full of redundant messages.


The pleasure and poetry of a perfume spread wellbeing to the body, mind and soul. The right fragrance stimulates creativity, imagination and provokes wonderful recollections.


The olfactory membrane is the only part of the human body, where the central nervous system is directly in contact with the surroundings.


Smell is first of all processed by the limbic system, one of the oldest components in the brain and seat of sexual and impulsive emotions.


The main functions of the limbic system involve the complex of emotions, and the emotive responses and reaction to external stimuli all take place in the limbic system.
