G. Nasengold 2014

It sits right in the middle of the face, sometimes small, sometimes large, sometimes delicate, sometimes coarse, and has already caused quite a bit of mockery. I know only a few people who are satisfied with their noses; I am not either, but women always have something to complain about...

And yet it is soooo important!!

The human nose must prepare the inhaled air for the lower respiratory tract; it is, so to speak, a filter, air conditioning system, and humidifier. Depending on individual body size, a normal nose can bring 10,000 - 15,000 liters of air to body temperature and enrich it with 80 - 90% humidity daily. What a performance!!

But that’s not all; smelling is another important function, especially for us perfume enthusiasts. A little excursion: We smell more or less fine fragrance substances that fly through the air as molecules. These are directed to the olfactory epithelium - the sensory center of the nose. In the mucus layer, the incoming scent molecules are collected and dissolved. Here, there are cilia, long thin appendages of the olfactory cells, which absorb the dissolved particles; then they travel via the olfactory cells to the olfactory bulb, a part of the brain. In the olfactory bulb and generally in the brain, the scent information is processed and assigned - that is the actual smelling.

Today, I tested the nasal gold with my northern nose and the brain's assignment.
In front of me is a small square bottle with a letter, quite plain and simple.

G for Genius or (just) Good… Yes, I know there are other associations for the G, but those are certainly not suitable for young audiences, and we are all decent people here... ;-)

In the first spray, a fleeting memory of Aventus, then fresh grapefruit - and mandarin notes that I like. A very faint pepper is also present, ginger has rolled away. My nose then detects fine little floral snippets, continuously washed over by mandarin and grapefruit. The fruit-flower mixture then floats to the well-worn leather couch, having never seen a sulfur match.
Cocoa was in the other room, vetiver wasn’t even there.

It’s a nice summer spritz that I will wear at the appropriate temperatures.
Unisex and its synthetic nature thankfully stays within limits.

So, conclusion: G for GOOD. Nothing more.

HERE ARE A FEW FUNNY AND NOT SO FUNNY FACTS ABOUT THE NOSE:

In men, the nose grows for the first 17 to 19 years, while in women, the nose grows until the age of 15 to 17 years.

There are different ways to sneeze. Since these types are genetically determined, members of a family usually sneeze similarly. There can be significant differences with other families.
When sneezing, irritants that cause the sneeze are expelled at a speed of about 161 km/h.

When inhaling dry air, the air pulls moisture from the mucus. This makes it firmer, resulting in what is known as boogers.

As the only one of the five senses, the sense of smell is directly linked to the hippocampus. The hippocampus is the part of the brain responsible for memory formation.

WOMEN HAVE A STRONGER SENSE OF SMELL THAN MEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As collagen and elastin break down over time in the nose, the nose elongates with age and droops due to the pull of gravity.
[...this also happens with some other body parts... :-(( ]

Deadly for humans are substances they cannot smell. These include carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and natural gas. With natural gas, people can only smell the added substance mercaptan.

During pregnancy, women’s noses become hypersensitive, leading to a peculiar sense of taste.

The nose and sinuses produce a liter of mucus daily, which fights infections with the help of contained enzymes and white blood cells. Since the olfactory nerves are directly connected to the brain, smells can evoke certain memories through associations.

In the New Zealand Maori tribe, people do not greet each other with a handshake but rub their noses together.

The scientific term for smelling is olfactory perception.

From the age of 65, people lose part of their sense of smell. By the age of 80, typically 50% of olfactory abilities have been lost.

Hyperosmia is an exceptionally strong sense of smell.

If one perceives smells incorrectly, they suffer from dysosmia.

Men have longer noses than women. (and that’s a good thing too ;-)

In the human nose, there are 10 million olfactory receptors that react sensitively to scent and odor molecules.

Human babies recognize their mother by her scent. (later, it’s the other way around.... ;-)))))))

MEN CAN PERCEIVE FEWER SCENTS THAN WOMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The fact is: Those who pick others' noses have nothing in their own.

In this sense: Take care of your noses!!
