I have led a charmed life. My wife lost her sense of smell after our first child was born and has never regained it.
She could not enjoy the smell of coffee roasting in a bean importer in Trieste .
The smell of my firework display on her 60th birthday in the snowy mountains of Slovenia ( and no I did not know it was not allowed) !
The pointless perfume I rarely now buy her……or even my wonderful Aqua Di Silva Victor aftershave.
The fragrance of flowers I buy her or the bouquet of a nice wine.
Even everyday smells, like burning the toast !!
Sad really as they can be so intoxicating of remind one of past shared experiences.

PS Love all the ‘smells’ listed. In the various posts.
