Interesting article and it makes sense that the nose is bi-olfactory.

th just my right nostril; then my left. It was like an episode of Song Exploder for my nose: I heard a melody in one nostril and harmony in the other. On…. “So in order to perceive everything, you have to use both nostrils to smell three-dimensionally.” I tested this out on my coffee. First, I smelled with just my right nostril; then my left. It was like an episode of Song Exploder for my nose: I heard a melody in one nostril and harmony in the other. One whiff was like smelling the higher notes of fruit; the other had earthy undertones. When I brought the two smells together with one big inhale, it was like combining two music tracks into a full song.

Interesting article and it makes sense that the nose is bi-olfactory. I know that sniffing in short sharp bursts is more effective than long slow sniffs. How does that relate to the harmony you describe?
