The study can't prove cause and effect, but the implication is that improvements in smell were associated with improved health status and resilience, the study authors noted.

A custom olfactory experience

Posted by Robin on 13 January 2023 4 Comments

The home’s most distinctive feature, though, is undoubtedly its scent. Yes, you read that right. Giraldo tapped Parisian perfumer Ex Nihilo to create a custom olfactory experience exclusively for 1859—worth a whopping $25,000. Throughout the manse, you’ll find 1859-branded candles, plus mists and body products in the spa. A total of six diffusers have also been strategically placed across the property and can be controlled via an app. Surely, you’re guaranteed to have the best-smelling home on the block.

Communication through scent

Posted by Robin on 12 January 2023 Leave a Comment

As forest-dwelling animals, they are small and secretive deer, and while their barking call is a handy indicator for humans looking to photograph muntjac, they do most of their interspecies communication through scent. On the faces of muntjac deer are two sets of scent glands; the preoribital which sits just in front of the eyes, and the frontal glands that sit on the forehead. While they’re not the only hoofed mammals to have these glands, they use them for communication more often even than other deer species that live in larger groups.
