Thanks to Ellie for passing on this article about living with anosmia, or the inability to smell, from The Washington Post. Consider this:
It's as if my tongue and nose can sense differences -- water tastes different from juice, say, and unscented air smells different from perfume -- but the differences are faint and forgettable, and I have no ability to identify them. Chocolate is strawberry is scrambled eggs.
MTV has more information on a possible fragrance release from Marilyn Manson: sounds like it is a definite maybe. (link no longer working, sorry!)
Eighth-graders at Pollard Middle School in Needham, Massachusetts have been writing protest letters to Armani asking them to cease using the fragrance name Black Code because of its racist connotations.
I dated Marc Andreessen the man who created the computer progrma Mosaic, which lead to the creation of Netscape Navigator. In the beginning of our relationship I asked him if he liked the perfume I was wearing and he said, “You could rub garbage all over your body and I wouldn't know the difference.” He was born without a sense of smell! When you can't smell you can't really taste either. It's like when you have a terrible cold and you can't smell or taste anything. Marc is a very rich man, but money can't fix everything. I think it's so sad. Smell and taste are my favorite senses.
LOL at “you could rub garbage all over your body” — I guess that takes care of that. Anosmia is one of my worst fears.
