Smell - Connect NHS

The sense of smell is also known as the Olfactory system. The Olfactory system helps us detects smells in the environment and determine if they are pleasurable or noxious. Our sense of smell is strongly linked with our sense of taste and although we are able to smell when born, the ability to distinguish between a pleasant and unpleasant smell is not immediate and our response to smells must be learnt.
