Our sense of smell is a wonderful, complex and sensitive thing. Smells can lift your spirits, calm you down, make you feel sexy, put you off certain food, attract you to other food and even attract your soul mate.

You can smell escaping gas or the smoke from fire; newborn babies can recognise the smell of their mother. Aromatherapy uses this incredible sense to help you feel better physically and emotionally.
