Breathing impacts our sense of smell from "summary" of Breath by James Nestor
Our sense of smell is intimately connected to our breathing. When we inhale, air enters our nasal passages and moves over a patch of tissue called the olfactory epithelium. This tissue contains millions of sensory neurons that can detect thousands of different odors. These neurons send signals to the brain, allowing us to perceive and distinguish between various scents. When we breathe through our noses, we maximize our sense of smell. Nasal breathing allows for the air to be properly filtered, moistened, and warmed before it reaches the olfactory epithelium.
