When you don't have a sense of smell, how do you distinguish your Chanel No. 5 from your Flowerbomb?
There are many times when not being able to smell is a godsend; facing a sweaty armpit on a packed tube, or braving public toilets are a couple of examples.
However it was that moment at work years later, feeling embarrassed that I couldn't smell the perfume notes in the same way as the rest of my colleagues, that sent me on an olfactory journey to assess how weak my sense of smell is. I read an article a couple of years ago, where one of the journalists' closest friends had passed away and she discussed how important fragrance was in recalling precious memories of him.
It motivated me to visit my GP, who referred me to an ENT specialist, but sadly, they had no real answers. After the excitement of thinking that there might be a way for me to gain a sense of smell, I feel more pertinently aware of my anosmia now and it is something I will continue to investigate – although maybe once summer’s firmly over. I’m happy to miss out on eau-de-sweaty-armpit.
