Words 'can change what we smell'

A rose by any other name might not smell as sweet, UK research suggests.

But labelling an unpleasant smell with a more appealing name can improve its aroma, an Oxford University team has found.

A label was enough to make them imagine a smell even when they were sniffing clean air, the journal Neuron reports.
