  Do you have a keen sense of smell ?  (37 Posts) Gunznroses Wed
08-May-13 12:58:57  How has it affected you ? my strong smell
sense has resulted in having to change jobs in the past, and
more recently may have to consider a new church, all because i
seem to smell things other people don't. The smell is there and
i can locate the source, but it's just not strong enough for
others to smell iyswim. It's very difficult explaining it to
people as i've had people say i'm being 'silly' or 'unkind',
they just don't understand it's a real problem.  I also
associate some smells with a colour, for instance a rotting
flesh smell would be green or yellow, a pleasant floral smell
would usually be lilac etc. Just wondered wether there were
others here.  hancat Thu 09-May-13 07:00:41  (Meant to say -
what was weird for me was being able to smell the chemicals
'underneath' the perfume they mask them with.)  PostBellumBugsy
