Heat is produced in the body by muscular exercise, assimilation of food, and all the vital processes that contribute to the basal metabolic rate, and is lost from the body by radiation, conduction, and vaporization of water in the respiratory passages and on the skin. The balance between heat production and heat loss determines the body temperature. Among the factors influencing the body temperature, it is well known that emotional stress usually leads to a slight-increase in skin temperature during emotional excitement or apprehension (Elam and Wallin 1987; Ganong 1987). As the perception of and response to fragrance are intimately concerned not only with emotional expression but with the genesis of emotions as well, such a temperature change could be an effective index for evaluating the influence of fragrance on humans.
