Answer 2

What "they" say is based more on religion than science.

Here in America, roses and cinnamon mean certain kinds of people are nearby.

Rose oil is based on a chemical called Gerinol. It is commonly used as a feminine deodorant. If I smell roses, it usually means someone has started her menstrual cycle.

Cinnamaic aldehyde is used in cheap laundry detergent. To some people I suppose it smells vaugly flowery. I have a very good sence of smell and to me it's like eating soap. When I detect this chemical it means there is someone near me with limited olfactory and financial resources.

Cinnamon itself is used in "hot" children's candies. It has a mild, burning taste but the burning sensation does not linger like real pepper oil does. Another popular candy ingredient is tataric acid. It is odorless but has a very tart, sour taste.
