PART 1
Our noses arecapable of detecting human smells even when these are 8 to far below one part in one million.Strangely , some people find that they can smell one type of flower but not another , whereas others are sensitive to the smells of both flowers. This may be because some people do not have the genes necessary to generate particular smell receptors in the nose. These receptors are the cells which sense smells and send messages to the brain. However , it has been found that even people insensitive to a certain smell at first can suddenly become sensitive to it when exposed to it often enough.

In fact , thought , we are extremely sensitive to smells , even if we do not generally realize it
