Although you are, of course, reacting to hundreds of other clues besides
the odors of the place, there is just beginning to be some serious work on
human pheromone perception, which are the 'scent markers' used by many
animals, including primates. Studies have shown receptors for many
pheromones, but so far no producing mechanism among humans. At any rate-
this is a definite scientific avenue of exploration, and may have a great
deal to do with your following statement-

But- are you remembering the times you got it wrong? Probably not.... This
is the single simplest problem with 'psychic' feelings- the forgotten
failures.
