I like the smell of skunk - just not too close.

Around late secound grade, early third I used to brag about liking the smell of skunk and I actualy did. At the time I thought it was just because I had a special intrest in Peppy La Pew (I now know it was because he subconciously reminded me of Timon)

Mine is very acute. It was actually a very big problem for me when I was younger and can still be quite bothersome. It has abated some with age, but when I am in the woods, I can sometimes stalk animals by smell and even smell other people from hundreds of yards away (assuming favorable wind conditions).


I do that too. I can track down people via smell. I wonder if I could make some extra cash by sniffing for drugs in airports.

My sense of smell is almost like Grenouille's. It's not always good thing. Most people stink for me.
Sometimes there are so much smells around and I don't care.

Do you think Grenouille could be Aspie? He was unsociable and had Hyperosmia...
