It doesn’t take a scientist to tell you that you become just a little happier as a human being when that first whiff of coffee reaches your brain via your nose. It does take a scientist to tell us that 900 chemicals made up that complex smell. It doesn’t take many of those 900 chemicals to send messages to your brain via your olfactory nerves that say, "Wake up and start your day!"
