The smell bottle is literally a bottle that emits fragrance, and it is not far from the truth to understand it in this way. So why is it necessary for such a bottle to exist? What does it have to do with coffee?

Fragrance bottle is a systematic classification of aroma to reconcile chemical oils to show different odors, so as to train the sense of smell and help the memory of specific odors. The ancestor of the incense bottle is said to collect all kinds of different materials, directly take certain plants and food and put them in glass bottles respectively, and then open the bottles to smell incense when it is time for training. Fresh materials that have not been specially preserved will also rot and stink quite fast, so there are chemical oil smell bottles that can now be preserved for more than five years.

At present, there are two major scent bottles on the market, one is the 36-flavor Le Nez du Cafe (coffee nose) made by French EditionJean Lenoir, and the other is the 100flavor Coffee Flavor Map (coffee flavor map) produced by Scentone in South Korea this year. At present, 36 flavors are used in SCAA certification courses. In addition to allowing you to remember specific flavors, his four categories also tell you what different flavors coffee will have in the roasting process, which can provide complete coffee knowledge training. However, the 100 flavor bottles currently held by Yun Studio are still classified, and 100 bottles are more carefully classified than 36 bottles, but unlike 36 bottles, they can give you a clear understanding of the smell produced during coffee roasting, but this is also a SCAA certified scent bottle. It is just that it has not been officially used in the relevant courses at present, and it may also become an official textbook for other certified courses in the future. However, no matter which kind of incense bottle, frequent practice is bound to improve the ability of olfactory discrimination.

If you have the opportunity to actually use it, you can find that the smell of the bottle is different from what you actually remember. This difference may be due to the fact that the bottle is simulated by chemical oils and cannot replicate the fragrance 100%. It may also be because the latitude of the country where the bottle is prepared is different, and the feelings of smell and life are different. For example, there is a bottle of coriander seed in the scent bottle, but to Alice, this bottle smells like "honey-soaked taro", and I don't even know what coriander seed is at the moment of knowing the answer, so it can be seen that different life experiences make us remember the flavor differently.

At the moment of using the smell bottle, there will always be "Gee …" This is so familiar! But I can't remember what it smelled like... "the idea of" is sometimes a bit frustrating, but this is also because we lack attention to odors in our lives, so many familiar smells cannot be distinguished for the time being, and scented bottles are flavors that are systematically selected. It helps us to be more sensitive to these specific smells. Of course, smelling incense bottles can only be trained for certain odors, and we can also train our sense of smell from our lives. When we go out for a walk and eat three meals, we can pay more attention to the smell around us, and we may also improve our sense of smell.
