What is the world's nicest smell?

vanilla But vanilla has now been crowned the world's favourite smell by a team of international experts. Scientists from the University of Oxford and the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm presented 10 scents to 235 people from nine different cultures around the world.

They discovered that cultural connotations or affiliations had little impact on how much someone liked a smell, with the fragrance’s chemical structure eliciting a widely liked or disliked response, irrespective of where in the world they live, what language they speak and what they eat. The 10 scents used in the trial were chosen deliberately to be representative of all the odours found in the world, as determined by a previous study that analysed almost 500 smelly molecules. They included chemicals that smelled like sweaty feet, decaying fish, mushrooms, lavender and vanilla. Participants of the study, which was published in the journal Current Biology, were simply asked to smell each chemical and rate how pleasant they found it compared with the other nine. Vanilla, produced from orchid, came out as the most preferred smell, followed by a chemical that smells like peaches and a lavender-like scent. At the other end of the scale, the most unpleasant smells were chemicals called isovaleric acid, diethyl disulfide and 2-isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine, which smell like sweaty feet, decaying fish and overly ripe green peppers, respectively. Overall, the trends were consistent for all 10 compounds in all nine locations. “Cultures around the world rank different odours in a similar way no matter where they come from, but odour preferences have a personal – although not cultural – component,” says Dr Arshamian.

Smells may be linked to increased chance of survival

He speculates that people agree on what smells are more pleasant than others, irrespective of geography or lifestyle, because certain odours may be historically linked to an increased chance of survival. For example, our olfactory sense may trigger disdain for a certain smell because it was associated with a toxic plant by our ancient ancestors. On the other hand, we may enjoy other smells because they were produced by other plants which were safe to eat. “Now we know that there’s universal odour perception that is driven by molecular structure and that explains why we like or dislike a certain smell,” Dr Arshamian says. “The next step is to study why this is so by linking this knowledge to what happens in the brain when we smell a particular odour.”
