Every scent is a question of nose

With more than 30 million olfactory cells, a human being can differentiate between 10,000 odors. These will be transmitted in a fraction of seconds to the right region of the brain, responsible for the emotions. This explains that an odor is associated most of the time with a memory, an emotion, like the madeleine of Proust. "With the arrival of winter, we focus mainly on hot and thick perfumes," says Manuela Pfannes-Völkel - that's why those with thick notes that coat, are perfect when the days are shortening and that the air becomes cold and dry.
