What smells you sense much stronger than other people or less than other people? What are some smells you really can’t stand?
I react to anything meant to cover smells. Like parfume, room spray, incense… I loathe fabric softener for some reason.
same, everyone stinks but those smells give me a headache
Different body odors. I do combat sports so I can smell the difference between fresh sweat and people who haven’t showered or washed their clothes. Chronically unwashed hands have a distinct smell.
The smell of people in general. Not sweat as such, just that ‘human’ aroma. - hate it. Public transport is awful. Funnily enough, I can’t differentiate between people, they all smell the same.
I’m no bloodhound but I can definitely tell people’s smells apart. Especially if I’ve been to their house.
Yeah human smells are pretty horrible
It’s usually more the time than the smells themselves. Some of my coworkers will start heating their food at lunchtime, and i’ll have to go walk the production floor for a half-hour or so until it kinda dies down again. It’s not a bad food smell, but I eat later and it makes me cranky.
unrelated, but sometimes my brain gets confused about smells, like when I was going to eat my lunch today, and my first reaction to the smell was like something in the food was rotten, but a second later I recognized it was just the smell of the rosé sauce (which I enjoy a lot).
I’ve had this happen in a not so nice way where I accidentally eat something spoiled
Rain
Ouch
I seem to smell everything sooner than folks around me, or at least I’m usually the first to comment on it.
Thankfully, there isn’t much that irritates me other than the scent of any kind of decay.
Ammonia, amines, etc. Examples include urine, fish, decomposing material that is high in protein.
I have a much weaker sense of smell than most people
Greek yoghurt. I can smell a container of it from across a room. I don’t hate it, but I can’t sleep in a room with a cup that hasn’t been rinsed out after being eaten.
Pine disinfectant. It cuts through everything and makes me feel ill.
Smoke and any type of particulates are death to me. Candles, incense, scented laundry soap…
Speaking of smells is there anyone else out there that can turn their sense of smell on or off? The best I can explain it is I have a flap that I close and poof no sense of smell. My wife says that is strange and not normal.
I am super sensitive to smells and will throw up if exposed to the wrong ones. Formaldehyde will make me throw up immediately.
I get a migraine from some smells and mould dusts.
ants
