Smell is a powerful sense that can evoke memories and spark emotional connections. And it's increasingly big business.
In this programme, we lift the lid on the multi-billion dollar fragrance industry; finding out how scent can influence customer behaviour, build teams, and even help to sell houses.
We hear from a perfume-maker who crowdsources some of the world's most expensive fragrance ingredients, and visit a 15 million dollar house on the market in London, to find out how the right aroma in a property can entice a potential buyer.
And we hear why a major drinks brand has created a fragrance for its company headquarters.
