Um... What's That Smell ?

Our senses are fundamental to us. Senses are the way we perceive and interact with the world. Smell, taste, sight, touch, and sound create and shape our experience on this planet. These senses coexist and work together in complete harmony to create the masterpiece that is our modern consciousness. When one of these senses is not functioning accordingly or is being negatively affected, the results can be unsettling and extremely uncomfortable.

Smell is vital in many underappreciated ways, especially when it comes to memory creation and retention. The nose has a keen sense to be sensitive to all sorts of pleasant aromas and vice versa. Without even noticing it, our nose tells where to go, what to do, and, more importantly, what we did. Remembering beautiful landscapes and your favourite song is one thing, but some people can magically and distinctly smell aromas pertaining to significant past events in their lives for decades.

We are all familiar with examples of things that smell good. For example, the smell of cooking bacon, freshly baked cookies or an aromatic rose, if you close your eyes and visualize it, you can swear you can smell it as if you are in the same room. Because of smell and its strange connection to memory you must surround yourself with positive smelling things, these curated aromas can improve your quality of life and can make you physiologically happier and more relaxed.

Your house is your safe space from the world. The one place you can truly be yourself. Your habitat, cave, shelter, and home are your place to destress and unload the heavy, awkward stresses of our hectic, busy lifestyles. Home is an environment that should be there to reassure and comfort you, not scare and disgust you. Unfortunately, mould and mildew growth is common in basement spaces and the most likely source behind musky, damp smells in homes.
