Welcome to the forum!

This sounds like a great project and we'd love to help out. Can you provide more details on what your exact question is for us?

If you are looking for background information you might start with some web searches around how the sense of smell works and how the sense of taste works.

I totally agree; such a topic would make for a very interesting project, but research is always of utmost importance! You can easily do a simple Google search and find some great resources, but here's a few key terms to get you started:

olfactory
papillae
taste buds
receptors
gustatory cells
microvilli

Have fun,
