      My husband finds that study unbelievable. It is a bit of an abstract way to test the theory. I don't think the other feelings were tested the same way!
      You can smell a teeny-tiny bit when asleep but it's majorly reduced. I also don't remember smelling anything in dreams...

    Interesting, but at least some people can smell when they're asleep! My mother would wake up to certain smells like chocolate cooking, so we had to make sure to cook things with minimal smell while she was sleeping.

    • @dr.claire.perfume
      @dr.claire.perfume  2 года назад +1

      Aah! That's really interesting! I guess the smell receptor part of the brain perhaps gets downgraded so that you are less sensitive whilst asleep maybe? So perhaps it is not that it is entirely turned off, just turned way down? Or maybe your mother was a super sniffer?! Some people have much stronger senses of smell than others. Thanks for watching and for your interesting comment ❤️

    Yey! Iceland ! 🤣
    Rotten Fish...
    i have gone to where they hang their fish to dry..
    not the most pleasant thing in the world, but i am used to that smell coz we have dried and fermented fish in the Philippines..
    Here in Iceland they also have Skata, which is basically fermented flat fish that they eat during i think Jan-Feb.
    i cannot even describe how the smell is, but all i know is that it stinks the whole Building and stays in your clothes forever 😂 the taste is like eating or drinking acetone 😵, but if you mix it with mashed potatoes, lotsa butter, and eat with rye bread, it’s tolerable. I love discovering a country’s culture through their food ...
    Anyway, i’ll continue watching ... 😂

      I am really not a fan of fishy fish so this sounds like my nightmare... Interesting to hear about though. I feel like the UK doesn't appreciate fish very much, other than in fish and chips. Most of our shellfish gets sold to mainland Europe, which is crazy! I love crab 🦀, mussels, cockles and prawns.

    New to your channel 😜
    Science and perfume. What an amazing idea. 10m receptors 😱 does that mean we can spot the differences between all the Aventus clones?
    I think the North East like Iceland have high tolerances from the pungent smells.
    I'm dubious of the t-shirt things. They always sound like they are conducted by fetishists, each to their own of course... But how big are the samples? Are their control tshirts? Maybe the smell of Daz can trigger a reaction? Emotions like fear and sadness are so ridiculously subjective and personal. And surely the films would trigger completely different responses. And interpreting body language is not exact and individual? Why didn't they test their hormone levels wouldn't that he more accurate. I think a reputable scientist like your good self should do proper experiments.
    Anyways 🤣 I'm glad after smelling Nova my nose would recover after a month.

    The anosmia is one of the scariest things about COVID to me--which, on the one hand I've worried has felt a little bit silly or shallow... but as you say here, smell is such an essential and important part of the human experience! The idea of losing your sense of smell indefinitely or possibly having it permanently altered is just sort of terrifying, and it's been no small part of why I've been incredibly cautious over the past year and a half. (Just 2 more weeks until my second shot, though! Almost home free.)

      Aah that's interesting! Maybe you are in the REM or deep sleep phases, it's those when you can't smell. Thanks for watching ❤️

      I am not sure of the level of detail that you are wanting or even whether I am answering what you want to know, I am also not an expert, but...
      Fragrance is a volatile mix of light and heavy mass odour chemicals in a carrier liquid to stabilise and preserve them, most commonly ethanol (alcohol). In order for us to smell perfume, odour molecules need to enter the air, the perfume is warmed by the skin and the energy given by the warming means that the molecules enter the air. The same happens, but more quickly, with ethanol, so the preservative is lost when the perfume is sprayed almost instantaneously. Odour chemicals are more unstable when the are not in ethanol so over a short space of time they may break down. Perfume fixatives are also used in formulations to prolong the longevity of the perfume but clearly the heavier notes will last longer as they are less volatile. Also your skin oils may also influence the stability of perfumes on skin. Oils may help it to "stick" better and may act as a kind of natural fixative. Dry skins don't have as much of these oils so perfumes will have shorter longevity.

      ​@@dr.claire.perfume Oh haha yes PhD is what I was referring to here rather than an MD. Glad I stumbled upon your channel. Notifications are now turned on for me. You also seem to be a history person as well.

      I'm just generally interested in a few things, no expert, especially in history but always curious 😊

    Does perfume make a person smell bad ?

    • @dr.claire.perfume
      @dr.claire.perfume  3 года назад

      I wouldn't have said so, depends on personal taste maybe? I guess it may mask natural smells slightly though, which evolutionarily speaking, might cause changes in selection. Thanks for watching!
