The study also found that one in five people love the smell of their home so much they want to bottle it and take it with them. Three in 10 wish they could have smells of their own home while on holiday. A further two in 5 would like to smell their living room while out shopping as the smell of home makes a third feel relaxed and stress-free.
Professor Tim Jacob, an expert in the psychology of smell, said, “Smells make a house a home because of the positive associations being ‘home’ has. Your home is filled with the things you love—your children, partner, perfume, pets—so when you smell them, you instantly feel better and at ease.
People respond(反应) well to familiar smells. Those which are alien(陌生的) make us feel on edge until we’ve identified the source and assessed that it’s not harmful.
