Word of the Day - Olfactory

[debodun]

Olfactory (adjective) - relating to the sense of smell.

Stepping into the bakery, my olfactory senses were overwhelmed.

 

[Aunt Marg]

The old chocolate factory had been shuttered for decades, yet upon cracking the lock on the grand leaded glass entry doors, my olfactory receptors kicked in, supplying me with a sense of mouth-watering delight.

 

[Ruthanne]

My olfactory memory is remarkable; a smell can take me back 50 some years sometimes to a different time and place. I find it interesting how we can be in 2021 and go back by smell to 1962!

 

[Sliverfox]

My olfactory reacts to cigarette smoke by making me choke.

 

[debodun]

I hear you, Silverfox. It makes my eyes water and might trigger asthma. My dad smoked a pipe and cigars, but not cigarettes. The pipe wasn't too bad - the cigars were asphyxiating.

 

[RubyK]

My olfactory sense is so acute that sometimes strange odors come to me that I don't recognize.

@Ruthanne ~ I, too, experience olfactory memories from many years ago. I enjoy those remembrances.

Olfactory cues can provide olfactory clues.... as to who and what, have been in the vicinity.
