When I was conducting research for my post on scented paper, I came across some interesting smell-related sites: |
- Better Living with Essential Oils: information about and uses for essential oils for body and home care. #24 is instructions on infusing scents into paper, although I would suggest adding the drops of essential oils to a cotton pad rather than directly onto the paper.
- Aromatherapy sites: AromaWeb, A World of Aromatherapy, and a skeptical view of aromatherapy.
- EverythingSmells.com’s list of interesting facts about smell: Unfortunately, these are not cited or footnoted, so I don’t know whether these are factettes or merely factoids. I find "all the scents in the world are created by seven conglomerate companies and then sold to ‘brands’" — if true — to be vaguely disturbing.
- Sense of Smell Institute, including facts that are probably more verifiable than those listed at EverythingSmells.com.
- A scientific tutorial on olfaction, or the sense of smell.
- Chemical smells database.
- What’s That Smell? The Nose Knows: an educational site for kids.
- The relationship between smell and taste.
- "The Vivid World of Odors," published by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.
- Smell disorders.
- Olfaction and odor.
