What is the beauty of smell as a phenomenon of our life? It is present here and now, it is concrete, and it exists... at the same time, the aroma in an amazing way evokes emotions, moods, images... that were not here before! The smell of blossoming apple trees: dacha, health, childhood. The smell of the sea: infinity, strength, coolness. The smell of coffee: cheerfulness, morning, meeting with colleagues. The aroma of blooming bird cherry: Spring... the air is saturated with energy, everything is just beginning, Summer is ahead! But there is this smell... well, someone accidentally farted... maybe you, maybe not... you still feel awkward... a mysterious feeling, damn it! But where there are emotions... we, people, are not far from desires-actions! The smell of exhaust fumes: discomfort, hide behind the trees, close the car windows... get out of here, leave, run! The smell of cigarettes: aggression, get out of my territory, what disgusting! The smell of fumes: listen, breathe in the other direction! And anyway, get off at the next stop! It's your pleasure, but here we go and go! The tart smell of perfume: a woman? Beautiful? Where? One? So, am I currently married or not? Married? Damn, and the body itself moves towards her!.. Heh, but if the smell of barbecue... This, as soon as it appears, immediately awakens the appetite... no, not like that: just a brutal appetite! Moreover, regardless of the desire to eat a minute ago! Instantly sets the mood for confidential communication “by the fire”, laughter, wishes to those present for health, happiness and “all dreams come true!”... I suddenly remembered the smell of the library: it consists of the aromas of newspapers, magazines, books... and alternates with the obligatory ventilation of the room every hour. Concentrates consciousness, tunes in to taking notes and greedily absorbing knowledge. When was the last time I was in my favorite regional school? Eh, how the computer appeared - that's it! World information is always with me... But! The solemnity of the moment... communication with rare books, in a huge hall, among other serious readers... it was unique! Olfaction is the only perception system in animals and people that does not turn off even in sleep. To jump up in time, prevent, run away... The more you realize the influence of different smells on your life, the less opportunities there are to hypnotize you in one way or another!
