So when doing this labs we were messing around with alot of different smells and tried identifying them. What I noticed was when smelling these it was way harder to label what they were because all we have is the smell and not where it came from. Each smell was different most of them were nothing related so each time it was a change of smell so you can really compare smells. When it came to smelling them and labeling it took longer because you were trying to get a sense of what it can be and if you smelled it before. Some smells were stronger and some were soft so you had a reaction being if you like it or dislike, for me it was harder with a strong smell because it was like more smells were combined and they were all over the place.
For some smells it came down to memory and if you smelt it before and how you can relate to them. For each smell it was different so I tried thinking of where i have smelt this and go from there and almost try to relate other smells with what I have. Alot of people relate because they say "oh I smelled this before somewhere" and I get this reaction to so memory plays a huge part in this lab. I kind of just put everything I knew on one smell at a time to get each out of the way so Its not like other smells are interrupting. Alot of smells were from like juice and fruity smell so It was fast to say oh this is a lemon smell or a orange smell so that was easy.
