Smell has a huge influence over how we perceive places. Despite its importance, smell has been crucially overlooked by urban planners and scientists alike, not least because it is difficult to record and analyze at scale. One of the authors of this paper has ventured out in the urban world and conducted “smellwalks” in a variety of cities: participants were exposed to a range of different smell...

This paper aims to identify the represented objects of olfactory experiences, i.e., what it is that olfactory experiences represent as being “smelly”. I argue that there are two types of olfactory experiences: attached smell experiences, in which smells are experienced as qualifying particular everyday objects, like roses, garbage bins, and cakes baking in the oven, and lone smell experiences, ...

Self-reported abnormal sensitivity, qualitative distortions and phantom sensations with respect to smell and taste was assessed with a longitudinal design, based on questions referring to gestational weeks 13-16 and 31-34 of pregnancy in comparison with 9-12 weeks post partum and with non-pregnant women with corresponding time durations and intervals. The results show that abnormal smell and/or...

One of the oldest beliefs about human perception is that we have a poor sense of smell. Not only is this a general belief among the public, but it appears to have a scientifi c basis. Recent genetic studies show a decline in the number of functional olfactory receptor genes through primate evolution to humans. Human evolution was characterized by the gradual ascendance of vision and reduction o...

Introduction  In Brazil, estimates show that 14.7% of the adult population smokes, and changes in smell and taste arising from tobacco consumption are largely present in this population, which is an aggravating factor to these dysfunctions. Objectives  The objective of this study is to systematically review the findings in the literature about the influence of smoking on smell and taste. Data S...

BACKGROUND Parents often report that young children have "smelly urine" or a particular urinary odour. There is little evidence that these observations are relevant to the diagnosis of urinary tract infection (UTI). AIMS To determine whether parental reporting of smelly urine is of any relevance to the diagnosis of UTI in children less than 6 years of age. METHODS Parents whose children wer...

CONCLUSIONS Results from prior studies of quality of life (QoL) in heterogeneous patient groups (regarding disorder type and etiology) with olfactory disorders may be useful also for understanding QoL in homogeneous patient groups. Diagnosis and treatment of smell loss should be given high priority in polyposis with asthma, and coping strategies can be suggested to these patients. OBJECTIVES ...

Sensory science is a scientifi c method used to “measure, analyze, and interpret human responses to products as perceived through their senses of touch, taste, sight, smell, or sound.” Sensory science is often used to improve existing products or to test people’s views on new products, such as the softness of tissues, the crunchiness of an apple variety, or the aroma of air fresheners. It is al...
