Fragrances are not ambiguous, but have effects. In this report, we will focus on the animal experiments that our research group has conducted. In the course of our research, we have come to understand not only the positive aspects of fragrances, namely their effectiveness, but also the negative aspects, namely their risks. In order to actively utilize fragrances in clinical practice, it is necessary to be aware of not only the positive aspects but also the negative ones. The current situation is that there are too many fragrances around us. We are now at a stage where we need to make more effective use of fragrances, taking into account their risks.
