My doctor had told me that I have a sensitive sniffer. I can smell things others can't - such as when wires were sparking a fire in my condo several years ago. No one else detected the "odor"; it was 2:30 a.m., and the smell was lingering. I "followed my nose," and there was smoke coming from an outlet. I've also smelled a gas leak from my stove; PG&E made an emergency housecall and said they were surprised I smelled it; it was a minute leak but it was there. (The line was replaced.)

Wow! that is really intense! It just goes to show how important our senses can be to saving our lives.
I was without a proper sense of smell for a long time after I was living in hydrogen sulfide which deadens the olfactory nerve. For a long time I thought the problem was that mass, commercial growing of strawberries and coffee beans and things had removed the smells... lol
Now I can smell things again and it is such a pleasure to make coffee and have that marvelous smell in the house.
