It’s not just about the smell of soap in the shower. Pay attention if you notice:
-
Your coffee doesn’t smell as strong as before.
-
You mix up scents — something pleasant may suddenly smell “off.”
-
Foods you once loved seem less appealing because their aroma feels “empty.”
While many factors can temporarily affect smell — such as a cold, allergies, or aging — a persistent loss of smell without a clear explanation may be worth discussing with a doctor.
