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
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.
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!
