The olfactory sense is among the most important senses for humans and animals alike and has been of critical importance to our survival. Odors are im- mediately registered followed by a subconscious or instinctive assessment of the situation, in which we find ourselves, or of the product we hold in our hand. Odors influence our daily lives in subtle unnoticed ways. Pleasant odors stimulate our well-being and our appetite and they can influence purchasing decisions. Unpleasant odors warn us against eating spoiled food. And even distant memories from years and years ago can be reawakened through long forgotten odors.
