Mean ratings (± standard error of the mean, n = 50) of different odor types at three concentrations on pleasantness, familiarity, subjective intensity, emotional arousal, and emotional perception. Values followed by different or same lowercase letters indicate significant differences (p < 0.05) or no significant difference (p > 0.05) between groups. Data were analyzed by main effects analysis with two-way repeated ANOVAs, a post hoc Bonferroni test was used.
