How Many Scents Can a Human Decipher

how many smells can a human brain decipher? If you guessed five hundred, your guess is way too low. One thousand? Two thousand? Five thousand? Believe it or not, twice that many. We can decipher ten thousand different scents. My favorite ones are beef stew, peach cobbler, apricot pie, apple pie, and peanut butter fudge. I doubt if I could name ten thousand different scents. Could you?
