The part of your nose that enables you to smell is the olfactory epithelium, located in the nasal cavity. This specialized tissue contains olfactory receptors that detect airborne molecules and send signals to the brain, allowing us to perceive different scents. Additionally, the olfactory bulb processes these signals and is crucial for our sense of smell.

It is through this part of the skull that sensory nerves associated with smell communicate with the outside. When you sniff, which is nothing but take a deep breath, more air reaches the roof of the nose, and more signals are transmitted to the part of the brain that helps in recognizing smell.
