Memorable Smells.

[Smowball]

I have absolutely no sense of smell. Zero. Haven't had for a couple of years, and doctors are baffled. But there are so many things that I really really miss the smell of.......I can't smell anything I cook or eat, can't smell anything in my garden.....(

But certain things I miss more than others.

Freshly mown grass
Fresh bread
Flowers

What would you really miss the smell of?

P.S. Mr Smow says that I should be grateful that I can't smell teen smow's trainers!!

[ummmm]

Lol at the trainers. Apparently my youngest son has stinky feet but I can't smell them.

What is your sense of taste like?

[ummmm]

I love the smell of pub cellars :-)

And TCP reminds me of my nan.

[Smowball]

My sense of taste has altered. Spicy things taste way hotter and spicier than they really are. Its all very frustrating. Grrrrr!

[daffy654]

Freshly laundered clothes.
Bacon cooking.

[Sparkles62]

Fresh fruit, strawberries, freshly peeled orange, and fresh baked bread.

Smowball thats awful that you can't smell anything. Did you have a trauma or bad infection? For me the smell of rain on fresh cut grass reminds me of childhood holidays in the Lake District, and germolene takes me back to when I was about 7 -I was a tomboy and went through tubes of it lol!

[ummmm]

Strange. Sqad might have an opinion on that.

When I gave up smoking I hated my sense of smell.

I do miss the smell of Nonna's sugo cooking :( You could smell it down the street! lol

I would miss the smell of vanilla, cinnamon, bread, fig and cassis scented candles, bacon (why are mine all food related??)

hello smowball

when i lived in malta for three years as a child 40 years ago, i used to love eating the native bread, it is called Ħobż (pronounced hobbs)

the aroma of it was sheer delight, and i can smell it now whilst talking about it

[MadMen]

That is really bizarre, Smow.

I love the smell of natural, raw coconut oil. I use it in cooking, and as a moisturiser. It reminds me of my Nan - who used to put it on her SKIN in the sun! :-/

I also love the smell of grass, newborn babies and polish.

Something I wouldn't miss is the smell of Jeyes fluid - which I currently have stuck up my nose. Oh, and wet dogs.

[vodkancoke]

Oooh and I swear snow has a smell! (not you Smow!) Everyone thinks I am bonkers.....which is true, but I promise you, I can smell snow! lol

[Smowball]

Squad has commented on in when i posted a while ago. Said that it will almost certainly never return : ( May have been a virus, will never know.

[vodkancoke]

Thanks MM, you have just reminded me about coconut too. :)

Particularly when "dabbed" cheekily on the skin of the inner thigh.

[Smowball]

i sprayed DeepHeat on my back the other day, hubby opens front door and said "Jesus Christ, whats that smell??" I was covered in the stuff and couldnt smell a thing!!

my OH has no sense of smell after dismounting a horse head-first (and waking up in hospital a week later). I think all you really need it for is gas leaks. If I had to lose one sense, that'd be it.

[ummmm]

My uncle also has no sense of smell or taste after falling 30ft from some scaffolding. He still won't eat brussel sprouts though!!

[jno]

actually, I suppose smell is better than sight or taste at detecting when meat is off. So perhaps I will amend that and say I don't mind if taste is the first to go.

Not that it matters, as it is sight and hearing that are going.

[Smowball]

Oooh Sqad,saucy! ( That looks like a very lovely perfume though)

[Sqad]

ummmm

\\\\\My uncle also has no sense of smell or taste after falling 30ft from some scaffolding\\\

That was secondary to a fractured skull........his sense of smell will never return.
