State of Mind Parfums

Taste perception is closely linked to the sense of smell, and in everyday language, the term "taste" encompasses both senses. The primary tastes of salty, sweet, bitter, and sour are complemented by olfactory receptors. Retroolfaction is the physiological mechanism that allows the olfactory system to perceive the aromatic properties, known as flavors, of foods in the mouth. The flavors follow a pathway behind the palate to reach the olfactory epithelium in the nasal cavities.
