[QUOTE="NorthernLights, post: 321747, member: 3183"] I'm there with you Cartaphilus. In a previous life I was a professional winemaker for commercial wineries. Not only is my sense of smell sensitive, I also cultivated the ability to identify aromas so well it became a reflex. Scent is the sense most closely linked to memory. Most people often smell something and think "Geez, what is that? I KNOW I know that smell. It's on the tip of my tongue!" But at first it is hard to name it. With practice it becomes automatic. What you said about "...they should be glad they can't." ? So I'm on a tour of a police station, and they release a guy from the cells from overnight. He walks barefoot down the hall, filling it with one of the three worst, most gag inducing smells I've ever encountered. The smell was enough. But the fact that I automatically, to my terror and deep regret, knew that the smell months of accumulated skin oil and dander actually decomposing ON his body, nearly had me leaning for the garbage pail beside me. It's a gift at times. A curse at others! [/QUOTE]
