Best Answer

in order for you to smell something, molecules have to make it to your nose. everything you smell is gives off molecules. whether good or bad. they are volatile (easy to evaporate) chemicals that float through the air into your nose. at the top of your nose are neurons which recive the moleclues. They have hair-like projections called cila. an odor molecule binds to these cilia to trigger the neuron and cause you to perceive a smell.
