...Although much about its function remains unknown, it is believed that this organ detects odors, which are essential for sexual activity.
[Stereochemical theory of olfaction]
On the other hand, many theories about the perception of smell have appeared and disappeared since the beginning of the 20th century, but recently J. A. A. Moore's "stereochemical theory" (1962) has attracted attention. In other words, the perception of smell can be explained by the relationship between a key and a keyhole.

From [Odor (smell)

…H. Zwaardemarker proposed nine basic odors (1895), and H. Henning proposed six basic odors, placing each odor at the apex of a triangular prism (an odor prism), and positing that all odors can be represented by points on the surface of this triangular prism (1916). In recent years, J. A. Moore proposed seven basic odors and linked them to the molecular structure of substances (1962). Although this theory has some unexplained phenomena, it is widely accepted as a stereochemical theory of odor. …

[嗅覚の立体化学説]
 一方,においの受容に関する多くの学説が,20世紀はじめころから出ては消えていったが,最近のアムーアJ.E.Amooreによる〈立体化学説stereochemical theory〉(1962)は注目を集めた。つまり,においの受容は鍵と鍵穴の関係で説明できるという。…

【におい(匂い∥臭い)】より

…ツワールデマルカーH.Zwaardemarkerは9種の基本臭を考え(1895),またヘニングH.Henningは六つの基本臭を想定し,各臭を三角柱の各頂点に配し(においのプリズム),すべてのにおいはこの三角柱の表面上の点で表せると考えた(1916)。近年アムーアJ.E.Amooreは7種の原臭を考え,それを物質の分子構造と結びつけた(1962)。この説には,いくつか説明のつかない現象があるものの,においの立体化学説として広く受け入れられている。…
