The aroma enter our nose and connects with cilia, the fine hair inside the nose lining.
The receptors in the cilia are linked to the olfactory bulb which is at the end of the smell tract.
The end of the tract is in turn connected to the brain itself.
Smells are converted by cilia into electrical impulses that are transmitted to the brain through olfactory system.
All the impluses reach the limbic system.
Limbic system is that part of the brain which is associated with our moods, emotions, memory.
