The Science Behind Good, Bad, and Just Plain Nasty Scents
You smell things every day, almost constantly, most often without thinking about them or even noticing. When you smell something exceptionally good, maybe you'll feel nostalgic, maybe it will whet your appetite, maybe it will just make you happy.

On the other hand, if you smell something particularly nasty, it might make you feel sad, uneasy or even angry! Bad scents are just plain bad. The question is, do you know why they smell that way? The answer to that question is in the science. This infographic, from the brilliant minds at Air Oasis, examines the good, bad and just plain nasty scents and most importanty, why they smell that way. Did you know decomposing seaweed smells bad because it gives off hydrogen sulfide gas which smells like rotting eggs. Did you know that violets have the ability to short circuit the olfactory receptors you have in your nose so that every time you smell them it's like the very first time.
