retronasal smell, retronasal olfaction, or mouth smell, is the ability to perceive flavor dimensions of foods and drinks. retronasal smell is a sensory modality that produces flavor. it is best described as a combination of traditional smell (orthonasal smell) and taste modalities. retronasal smell creates flavor from smell molecules in foods or drinks shunting up through the nasal passages as one is chewing. when people use the term "smell", they are usually referring to "orthonasal smell", or the perception of smell molecules that enter directly through the nose and up the nasal passages. retronasal smell is critical for experiencing the "flavor" of foods and drinks. flavor should be contrasted with "taste", which refers to five specific dimensions: (1) sweet, (2) salty, (3) bitter, (4) sour, and (5) umami. perceiving anything beyond these five dimensions, such as distinguishing the flavor of an apple from a pear for example, requires the sense of retronasal smell.
