Oh Helena recognized that it went in one ear and out the other. Many had the same reaction upon first arriving at the Warehouse and experiencing what lay within it. Helena would reiterate it later once Devi was able to retain information beyond the wonder that she was presented with.

Though Helena was hoping that Devi, once she was past the initial rush of everything, would not be like Pete who saw fit to not only touch everything, but also play with the Artifacts in the Warehouse. Seriously. Helena did wonder how the man hand't whammied himself into an early grave by this point.

At the response, Helena smiled, showing Devi that she was pleased by it. "Oh you definitely get points for not saying sawdust and dirty gym socks. Do you smell apples at all?" Not everyone smelled them, and sometimes one would smell them later on in service after doing something to help the Warehouse. Even if Devi didn't smell them, she wanted her to know what the scent meant if she ever found herself smelling them.
