When you smell fragrances by sniffing a flower, the process is called orthonasal olfaction. This contrasts with retronasal olfaction, where you exhale while eating and the aromas from your mouth float up outwards through your nose.

Scientific studies have shown that retronasal olfaction and orthonasal olfaction are processed differently in your brain.

All this means you won’t get the same effect from smelling something while drinking water in the same way as drinking a WaveX bottle with a Taste Bud. You’ll have to try it yourself!
