Do You Smell What I Smell?
b'
We may take our ability to smell for granted but it\\u2019s a far more complex sense than many people realise. Listener Annabel wants Crowdscience to investigate why perfume makes her queasy, so Anand Jagatia sets out to discover why we can\\u2019t all agree when we follow our noses. He gets a whiff of the world\\u2019s stinkiest flower - and finds some people enjoy it \\u2013 then asks what\\u2019s happening in the brain when we love or hate a scent. But could our different perceptions about this under-appreciated sense actually come down to a lack of words to describe it? He hears about one culture which has developed its own language for smell.\\n \\nPresenter: Anand Jagatia\\nProducer: Marijke Peters
