scents

Scents are the detectable odors produced by various substances, which we perceive through our sense of smell. These aromas are caused by tiny particles that enter our noses and interact with olfactory receptors. Scents can evoke emotions and memories, influence behaviors, and even affect taste. They play a crucial role in nature, such as attracting pollinators or signaling danger. In daily life, scents are found in foods, flowers, perfumes, and cleaning products. The study of scents, known as olfaction, is important in various fields, including food science, medicine, and marketing.
