olfactive experiences

Olfactive experiences refer to how we perceive and interpret smells through our sense of smell. When we encounter a scent, molecules from the odor hit receptors in our nose, which send signals to the brain. The brain then processes these signals, connecting certain smells with memories, emotions, or contexts, influencing our feelings and reactions. These experiences are highly personal and can evoke vivid memories or moods, making olfaction a powerful sense in shaping our perceptions and connections to the world around us.
