Some smells make us happy because they remind our brains of good things. Imagine you smell a flower, your brain thinks, 'Oh, this is like the time I was outside and felt calm.' That makes you feel happy. Smells can be like little messages that tell your brain to smile.
Examples
- A fresh lemon in your kitchen makes you feel awake and happy.
- You walk into a bakery and suddenly remember your favorite childhood treat.
- Your pet’s scent always makes you smile.
