Echoing my post on masto: Does asafoetida smell amazing to you?
Does asafoetida smell amazing to you? and if yes do you consider yourself someone with an accurate sense of smell (e.g. identify if someone needs dental work in a conversation, smell who someone has been hanging out with, identify spices and herbs used in a meal with high accuracy, identify the perfume someone wears etc)
You're viewing a single thread.
IMO it's a lot like garlic in that smells amazing when you're hungry and about to eat it but kind of disgusting to smell outside of that context.
I guess I have a maybe above average sense of smell/taste, or perhaps just more honed from cooking and tasting coffee and spirits for their tasting notes and such.
Interesting. I find garlic delicious all of the time. Well except maybe when I'm feeling amorous and it's on my beloved's breath :p
I think I understand what you're saying though. What is your experience of things like scented washing chemicals (deodorant/shampoo/soap/detergent) etc. Can you tolerate them? Or do you find them overwhelming?
what about vegetable decay, like compost. Aversive? or neutral?
