Nasal cavity mucosa... as air passes thru the nasal cavity, it's warmed, moistened, and filtered by the nasal cavity mucosa. The air that flows directly beneath the superior part of the nasal cavity may stimulate the olfactory receptors in the mucosa region.

Why is the filter for your air conditioner dripping water?
Warm air holds more water vapor than cold air, just as warm water can dissolve more salt than cold water. As the air conditioner cools the warmer air, it can't hold all of the moisture and will condense. since it is too heavy to remain suspended in air, it forms on a solid surface, hence, the moist filter. When it's cold out, that's why the inside of your car windshield fogs up just after you get in it. Your breath and body heat warm and moisten the air in the car and when it meets the colder windshield, the fog that forms is actually moisture in the air condensing on the cooler glass surface.
