I've never had much of a sense of smell, i have to bring things really close to my nose to get a hint of anything. I do however have a very sensitive sense of taste, and will taste things much like others smell things. I've got into the habit of saying "I smell ...." Because it avoids having to explain rather boringly that i have no sense of smell, and it also avoids the few idiots who think you are somehow lying to be "different", sigh.
