unlike the sense of vision we don't have anything comparable to to eyeglasses to compensate for for these impairments so there is no technology yet for fully recovering or compensating for an impaired sense of smell is it true that women have a better sense of smell overall Not quite, actually. It's a notion that was present already in ancient times.

Aristotle wrote that women had a better sense of smell than men. But modern research hasn't really brought that out. So if we test men and women on really faint odors, men and women tend to perform similarly. So we can detect odors at the same concentration. But when we ask participants to remember the smells or to describe them with words, women tend to do better.

So they are more able to cognitively elaborate and encode the odors in memory relative to the men. So it's both yes and no. They are better in some ways, but the nose is as powerful for men as in women.

Yeah, so we know that being out in nature and smelling the natural smells of the forest or the ocean or those things can have a strong impact on our moods and have positive health benefits. But it doesn't really work in an automatic way. So we can't just...

you know pump certain smells into into the ventilation system at the workplace and then people will be more productive i think it has to do with the context in which the orders are presented and the the people who are perceiving them so there is no real shortcut i think to to boosting productivity and and i think a lot of the aromatherapy effects they are due to the fact that people

put themselves in a mindful state and they use odors that they like and that they believe have these potent effects on their moods. And so there is a type of placebo effect going on as well. And people can use that for their benefit. So I'm not a believer in using odors too much in the workplace. It might actually backfire.

If you have an unpleasant work environment, adding smells to it might make things worse, I think.
