Most of these informations are already known, but since I like this sense, I wanted to write something here, if you don´t mind. =]
The smell is one of the first senses in Animal Kingdom. Therefore is one of the most complex we have (passed through many small modifications). Also, something I like, in some animals (like snakes and horses), they have the Vomeronasal organ, which is not presented in humans. But I personaly think we still have its neuronet. Also, I think our retronasal smell system is this remained net.
Well, anyway is really an interesting sense. Usefull as well!
Cheers!

Because perfume and fragrance and scented oil hasn’t existed for hundreds, thousands of years — Oh, wait.
