Anita sniffs out what's so fascinating about the science of smell — and gets her mind blown. A psychologist shares why smell is our most emotional sense, plus stories about the mental health consequences of anosmia (losing your sense of smell), and a scent designer describes how to re-create memories through candles.

Meet the guests:

- Bonnie Blodgett, author of “Remembering Smell" talks about what it was like to lose her sense of smell

- Rachel Herz, neuroscientist and author of “The Scent of Desire" shares how our brain processes scents

- Christina Degreaffenreidt, founder and creator behind Multifaceted, a candle-making company based in Greensboro, talks about the art of scent design
