Scientifically proven: You can train your nose
Our nose is a fascinating sensory organ – but it is often underestimated in everyday life.
Amidst digital impressions, noise and hectic activity, we forget that smelling is a skill that can be trained – just like muscles or concentration.
If you rarely smell consciously, your sense of smell will become sluggish .
The sensory cells in the nose do renew themselves regularly,
But they need olfactory stimuli to remain active and sensitive.
Without these stimuli, the sense of smell slowly atrophies – scents become blurred,
and you perceive less intensely what is happening around you.
What science says about it
Research from the Technical University of Dresden , led by Prof. Dr. Thomas Hummel , clearly shows that targeted "olfactory training" measurably improves olfactory performance – even in people who have partially lost their sense of smell.
In clinical studies, participants regularly smelled four clearly defined scents (e.g., rose, eucalyptus, lemon, clove).
After a few weeks, their ability to recognize and distinguish smells had increased significantly .
How to train your nose in everyday life
Smell training is very simple – and can be wonderfully integrated into everyday life:
– Consciously smell a citrus fruit in the morning – it activates and invigorates.
– Lavender in the evening – it calms and relaxes.
– And try something new: What does bergamot actually smell like?
The only important thing is to smell consciously , regularly and attentively.
With our scent pods , you can easily implement this training.
Each pod offers a clear, high-quality fragrance – perfect for challenging and stimulating your nose on a daily basis.
Because those who train their nose not only smell better – they live more intensely. 🌼
