When I eat something, say garlic, its scent is often similar to its taste. This usually applies to most foods. But things like food-scented candles, lotions, etc., smell one way and taste terrible (I promise I’ve only gotten them in my mouth on accident). Why is this? Don’t the same molecules that give something an odor the same ones that give it a flavor? Should that apple cinnamon flavored candle taste like my mom’s apple pie?

Durian fruit is one of those things in nature that taste very different from the way they smell.
