When it comes to the sense of smell, something different happens compared to any other stimulus that reaches our brain. The sense of smell and emotions are located in the same nervous system network in our brain, and it is called the limbic system. That’s why it’s important to fill your environment with a scent that makes you feel good. Zodiac scents can give you clues to help choose the perfect one.
The limbic system isn’t just where the sense of smell is processed. It also handles many major emotions such as admiration, anger, pleasure, compassion, aggression, and love.
Power of Smell
So, don’t stimuli from our other senses also reach the limbic system? They do—but not directly. Other senses like sight, hearing, touch, and taste are first processed in a different part of the brain (the thalamus) before reaching the limbic system. This means they go through a filter. However, the nerve cells that carry scent information are directly connected to the limbic system. In other words, smell goes straight to the amygdala—no detours, no filters.
The amygdala is the emotional control center. So, our sense of smell, with its VIP pass straight to this sacred space, might just be our most powerful and emotional sense.
