géuren
Géuren, also known as olfactory stimuli, are chemical compounds that interact with olfactory receptors in the nasal cavity, leading to the perception of smell. These compounds are airborne molecules, typically volatile, meaning they readily evaporate and disperse into the air. The human nose contains millions of olfactory receptor neurons, each equipped with specialized proteins that bind to specific odorant molecules. This binding triggers a signal that is transmitted to the olfactory bulb in the brain, where it is processed and interpreted as a particular scent.
The range of perceived smells is vast, encompassing natural and artificial sources. Natural géuren originate from
