The smell of adventure

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer

The most ancient organ
There is a special tissue in the nasal cavity of human beings - it is called epithelium. It is the first one to track information about smell, and then it passes it over to the essential organ - olfactory bulb, the most ancient part of a human brain. It's like a tail with the help of which a person can be tied up to anything. This often happens to men who among thousands of smells recognize without a fault the smell of their beloved - her perfume, her skin, her hair. Think of Grenouille - the main character of Suskind's novel "Perfume: the story of a murderer" and Tykwer's movie with the same title. The book is listed among bestsellers and one of the reasons is that in the literature there is no analogue of investigation of the leading sense.

The sense of smell - what else is it?
It was believed that the sense of smell is a kind of atavism of some animal nature but it is due to this sense that the most important information is perceived. Besides  recognition of conscious smells it also perceives unconsciously - pheromones. The so-called zero nerve identifies pheromones. Pheromones are the basics of all that’s happening between people. Two important phenomena take place with their help - ranking among men, and the attraction between a man and a woman. This sense also controls survival, due to information possession. The feeling of power, manipulation and division of territory are also here. The sense of smell  is also politics, espionage, finance, science.

People with the leading sense of smell - who are they?
These people are very rare. They have a unique non-verbal intuitive thinking. They do not analyse, do not visualize. They do not give names. Instead, they experience very precise, very strong and very bright sensations based upon the perception of pheromones of the surrounding people.
They used to be advisers of a chief in the primeval society, shamans, spies. Today they are perfumers, politicians, ministers of finance, ministers of foreign affairs, great scientists, serial killers.

Where is that button?

Every person has a leading feeling: it is stronger than any of other five senses. If there is no comfort in the leading feeling, then there is no more joy, only dissatisfaction and even depression. It is necessary for everyone to know their priority. This way, we will be able to regain our forces quickly. Some listen to the music, some need caresses and hot bath, some would be inspired by the colors of the sunset and the favorite painting.
There is a leading feeling inside our memory. It is this feeling that comes to our mind when we need to think about this or that event, or subject. This can be a color, a sound, a smell, a taste or a tact. This is what we think about even less. But this is what represents a real lever to manipulate us...

Unless you discover your leading feeling, you are vulnerable. If another person touches on your strings, he can easily manipulate you. This leading feeling is a true button of manipulation when it comes to people, and each time it is pressed on, they are ready to do anything to have this feeling again...
