Sense Of Smell

[harv]

I've had problems with a blocked up nose since November 2008 and 90% of the time I haven't been able to smell anything. No idea what's causing it, doctor says it's an allergy to dust mite poo and has prescribed me some spray to squirt up each nostril but it's done bugger all despite trying 3 different sprays. So now I've just got used to the idea of only being able to smell 10% of the time.

But this started me thinking...if you could choose 1 smell as the only thing you'd be able to smell for the rest of your life, what would it be..?

For me it would be frying bacon, narrowly beating the smell of curry.

What about you lot..?

 You come up with some batty questions.

Fresh bread for me.
Honourable mentions to freshly cut grass, sizzling bacon, and the rain during a thunderstorm.

Johnson's baby shampoo is one of my current favourite smells. Although it wouldn't be the one I'd choose that honour  goes to the smell of rain on a really hot day.

I did myself a couple of bacon sarnies with my George Foreman Grill earlier and was a bit peed off that I couldn't smell the bacon cooking, that's the inspiration for the thread.

Really annoying as it goes, for the best part of 4 years I haven't been able to taste a great deal.

Everyone likes the smell of their own ones!!

I love the smell of cherries and almonds, bakewell tarts send me to orgasmic heights

Plus this might be sad but I love the smell of a new computer game lol

Surely if you cant smell anything, then you cant taste anything either?

I know someone who has no sense of smell whatsoever, they inherited that from their mum. It hasn't affected their sense of taste in the slightest. Although it could be argued that as they have had this since birth they wouldn't really know if their sense of taste has been impaired.

As for that one smell. I can't really think of one particular one. It's not something I;d ever given much thought to. There are so many nice smells. The smell of oranges, when you have just peeled one. Beautiful fresh citrus scent. Percolating coffee. Bacon. A new book (can't replace that smell with a kindle, though I'm sure they'll find a way lol). Far too many.
