    Smells are very localized

    Smells are airborne. They move with the air.

    You can walk into a house and tell they’re cooking dinner, just by smells that have traveled 50 feet from the kitchen to the front door.

      Dispersion varies widely due to the kind of smell, intensity, and air circulation.

      Most smells do not travel 50 feet.

        Most smells do not travel 50 feet.

        I have to counter that in my experience most, if not all smells travel 15m. When the wind is right that increases massively.
