Anosmia, also known as smell blindness, is the loss of the ability to detect one or more smells. [1] [2] Anosmia may be temporary or permanent. [3]
Smell disorders can result in the inability to detect environmental dangers such as gas leaks, toxins, or smoke. In addition to safety, nutritional and eating habits can also be affected. There is a loss of appetite because of unpleasant flavor and fear of failing to recognize and consuming spoiled food.

Without the sense of smell, individuals with congenital anosmia may miss out on these powerful sensory experiences that enhance and enrich one's emotional lives and memories. [24] [25] [26] [27]
