VANILLA AND ITS PERFUME
The scent of vanilla gives us a sense of security, and reminds us of our childhood with its sweet taste.
The scent of vanilla “acts like a pheromone”, a substance carrying a “message of love”. For example, a baby's neck and scalp smell slightly of vanilla. Thus, the infant can, by its smell, let its mother know that it needs to be protected.
