10 categories of smell

The sense of smell is one of the 5 senses of a human body and for me it is one of the most important senses that a human need. As you know, there are 10 basic categories of smell. Each one of them differ from one another. Each categories of smell is also important attributes as we tackle our day to day activities. The ten categories of smell are; fragrant, woody/resinous, fruity, chemical, minty/peppermint, sweet, popcorn, lemon, pungent and decayed. If you are not familiar with the 10 categories of smell then this blog might be of help to you. I am writing the 10 categories of smell in this blog and I hope that I could help you understand more about the sense of smell. Yes it is true that we are able to smell different kinds of fragrance each day and it helps us stimulate are personal needs.

When we eat are food, the one that boosts our appetite is the smell of the food. We could directly tell that the food is tasty if it smells so good. Therefore if the food doesn’t smell that good, then we are able to tell ourselves that we don’t want to eat that kind of food. But there are also some person that doesn’t have a strong sense of smell while there are some that have a strong sense of smell and are very sensitive when it comes to a smell of a particular object. Well every person differs from one another and there are people that could differentiate the 10 categories of smell just by smelling a certain object. I appreciate those people I think it is a talent to be able to have a strong sense of smell.

As a human being, we need to have a proper hygiene in order to smell good. We don’t want to smell bad in front of many people. As you know when we do certain activities, we perspire a lot and that sweat will turn in to a bad odor if we don’t take a bath or we do not clean ourselves. Of course it is not proper to smell bad and for other people to know the fact that we have a bad odor. It is not a rightful thing to do and for sure we will be embarrassed if other people will discover that we have a bad other. There are also some people that could easily smell a bad odor of a certain person. I think those people just have a strong sense of smell although it is rare since not all people have a strong sense of smell. Unlike the dogs that have the strongest sense of smell, they are able to identify a person by using their sense of smell rather than by seeing them. But we are humans and we are not dogs. We should just be thankful that we are able to have a sense of smell because for sure, life would be difficult if one of the five senses is missing in your life.
