Olfactory

The representational system associated with the sense of smell. In NLP's VAKOG model, olfactory (O) is one of the five primary sensory modalities. Smell is neurologically unique in that olfactory signals travel directly to the limbic system — the brain's emotional center — without first passing through the thalamus. This makes olfactory anchors among the most powerful and persistent, as scents can trigger vivid emotional memories with remarkable immediacy.
