The smell department does not exist. It is the Olfactory Bulb and Olfactory Nerve that allow a sense of smell. Unlike all other senses olfaction does not need to travel through the Thalamus to be processed. The Limbic System, located in proximity to the Olfactory Bulb, also aids in the process and links smells to memories.
