Wikipedia
smelling
The sense of smell, or olfaction, is the special sense through which smells (or odors) are perceived. The sense of smell has many functions, including detecting desirable foods, hazards, and pheromones, and plays a role in taste. In humans, it occurs when an odor binds to a receptor within the nasal cavity, transmitting a signal through the olfactory system. Glomeruli aggregate signals from these receptors and transmit them to the olfactory bulb, where the sensory input will start to interact with parts of the brain responsible for smell identification, memory, and emotion.There are many different causes for alteration, lack, or disturbance to a normal sense of smell, and can include damage to the nose or smell receptors, or central problems affecting the brain. Some causes include upper respiratory infections, traumatic brain injury, and neurodegenerative disease.

Smelling is the process by which an organism detects and perceives odors or scents through the olfactory system. It involves the inhaling of air or molecules carrying aromatic particles, which are then detected by specialized cells in the nasal cavity and interpreted by the brain as specific smells. Smelling is an essential sense used by many animals, including humans, to gather information about their environment, identify potential dangers, locate food sources, and experience pleasure or displeasure through different scents.
