This article is very interesting. For some reason, somewhere down the line humans evolved to use smell as a way to decide if something is worth engaging with or not (Food, people etc) or to detect danger (smoke from a fire) but like the author said. There is a whole world of smells that are just interesting in themselves but humans never explore. I have never entertained the intricacies of a smell I stop at if it is good or bad.

In the server room next to my office I have a air cleaner/fan/filter so that I do not have to clean the servers from dust as often. It will ramp up if it detects dust or smell. It will for example ramp up if someone farts nearby which is quite funny. I however have social anxiety, and when I'm on a phone call, or just thinking about talking to someone I don't like, it will also ramp up. I wonder what this smell does to someone's subconscious when I meet them in person ...
