Everything has its own odour. When in the north, my nose alerts me to incoming snow before it falls. My mother wouldn’t cook with garlic because my father’s body would reek of it later…but she did learn to put chocolate on the table in the evenings for a more pleasant outcome. Her own kind of witchcraft 😉

I love that India! 😀 Yes, chocolate would definitely be much preferred. Thanks for sharing.

I had no idea about our own unique aromatic odor/blueprint! So fascinating! It may also help to explain why perfumes can smell differently on different people - and why creating perfumes is so complex because of that!

It really is fascinating, I agree! And it’s tied to our immune system as well, and helps us sniff out an appropriate mate!

I guess mine was faulty from the get go as my mates have been questionable to say the least 😂 And my immune system is now compromised - interesting connection? 🤔
