Your fine-tuned sense of smell has the power to transport you back in time to granny’s house or lure you into the bakery for fresh bread. Scents have been a precious commodity for millennia, yet medical doctor and researcher Alexander Wieck Fjaeldstad explains that different people have diverging perceptions of aromatic spices, fragrances, and flavours.
