good, except I can turn it on and off. usually I prefer not to smell things. although as I get older, it's not as easy to do. I say, "I don't use my nose for smelling", but cort always gets mad because she thinks it sounds like I use something else for smelling. :cool:

but unless there's a particularly pungent smell around, I usually have to consciously decide to smell something. I'm a mutant.

I also have a habit of describing smells like, "it smells like 2nd grade in here".

It's usually pretty shit but I've noticed it gets a lot better if I go for a few hours without smoking.

Why you asking out of interest?

i am a little handicaped because I smoke cigarettes so my smell and taste senses are influenced with tabaco taste ....

We just saw the movie 'Perfume'. I would say my nose has been destroyed after a few years of working around ferteliser.

Very good. I pick up on scents that others don't, at least. It can be both a blessing and a curse. :(

really really good. sometimes it's great, but sometimes, i can tell what you had for lunch from the way you smell.

Sense of smell is poor, but sense of taste is very good, which doesn't make sense.

oooh good question. not something you think about frequently, i guess, unless asked!

erm. good, methinks. but i doubt you can really scientifically test it with limited experience. i can smell weed smoked in a room days and days ago, but then again weed isn't exactly the most subtle of smells. i know if people use conditioner on their clothes or not. i know if someone has used my herbal essences shampoo :mad:

i smell of hypnotic poison, herbal essences, kittens and cauliflower. only 50% of this list is true.

I was in a video store this weekend and, though the bathroom is tucked down a hallway behind a door, the hallway just has divider walls rather than walls that run all the way up to the ceiling, right? So anyway, I was in the back of the store browsing, and somebody must've had a small animal crawl up their bum and die, because WOW the place literally smelled like shit. I almost said something to one of the workers at the registers, along the lines of "Maybe somebody could take a can of air freshener back there" but then I realized, no, maybe it was one of them who had done it.

It was just awful. I kept browsing at the front, killing time, and then gingerly making my way toward the back again, and I could still smell it. :(

The residual smells hang around, like when the cat dumps in her box. I wrote a note saying "Poopins in teh box" and left it on the fridge, yeah Zorra, I can smell your anecdotometer going off the charts. I could smell it for hours afterwards. Poopins in teh nozz.

I get that. At my old job there was a cupboard that stunk to high heaven of it, yet none was to be found.
