at any rate, on a good day my shampoos, shower gels, conditioners and dish soaps smell wonderful.
on an off day they all smell like boiled cabbage and onions. mayhap, a good scent for food, not so much for hand lotion, shampoo or dish soap, eeeewe.
i try to keep a good variety of strong citrus (lemon, grapefruit, or certain berries) or plain soap scented sundries on hand to off set the days of everything smelling of stinky feet and boiled cabbage.
some perfumes or scents are too strong and i can taste them, some don't even bother me, i can't smell them.
accck i know my sense of smell is having an off day when my chanel no. 5 smells like cabbage.
ahhh but i do love the scent of a dark rich coffee, leather and hoppe's no 9 (a gun oil) 
hope it helps |
I am getting the same problem since a couple of weeks. I noticed it first when i entered the kitchen then something like burning smell, burning onion, something like that but later it starts to appear all time. and my smelling power is now almost zero. I can't distinguish and get any smells of foods or perfumes but instead of that use to get same bad smell. this smell also appears strongly when taking shower and the shampoo that i use to apply in my hair and the shampoo coming down with water smells almost badly and can not get that shampoo's smell. And I asked about it with my wife but she doesn't smell it. I am really in tension now. what might be the cause of it and really want to know? So, I started so search in the google and got this forum which is really similar to my problems so hurriedly registered and posting a comment. and now what I should do? Please anybody there to help my problem.
