Smelling the outside world
So adapted are dogs to smelling the outside world that they have little ability to smell food in their mouths. When humans chew food, we force gases escaping from the food up into our nasal cavity via passageways in the back of the throat. This process, called retronasal olfaction, partially reverses the flow of air in the nose, which normally comes in through the nostrils. [...] But the internal anatomy of a dog’s head allows little of this backward airflow. Dogs mostly lack the combined feeling of smell and taste that makes up flavor. As a result, they care little about the flavor of their food once it is in their mouths. Detecting the smells of edible things before opening their mouths is enough for them to take a bite.

This beautiful Mediterranean scent
I grew up in Algiers (the capital city of Algeria), I lived in a bucolic street called “street of the pines”. This street is lined by majestic pine trees. Every day when I came back from school, I observed these huge trees, and I smelled their woody fresh, balsamic, and resinous smells. Their invigorating scents mingled with the solar fragrance of the jasmine flowers in my garden. This beautiful Mediterranean scent is my childhood memory.

Mother-of-one Baker brought a distinctive Carolina Herrera perfume bottle – a glass bottle in the shape of a stiletto shoe – with her and concealed it behind her back.
