Maybe you've got Covid?
I lost a large proportion of my sense of smell after getting Covid. It's rubbish.
Same here. I have smelled precisely two things since March last year. It sucks.
Don't lose hope - my sense of smell has only just come back, two years after catching it.
I realised it when the farms near us began muck spreading a few weeks ago. Since then, I've started being able to smell food cooking, blocked drains, everything.
Thanks! It sounds weird to say I hope one day I'll be able to smell blocked drains again though :P
Friend of mine got covid and it just sent her sense of smell completely out of whack. Nothing smelled like it did before. A curry smelled like wet trees, she said. My leathery / amber perfume smelled like talcum powder to her. It was so weird!
Nah, I can smell everything else. Interesting article though!
Well, stranger, I'm glad you don't have Covid. Sorry about the scentless soap though.
