Today is Anosmia Awareness Day.

Greetings,

We’re writing to you today, February 27, because it is Anosmia Awareness Day. As an association dedicated to elevating our sense of taste and smell appreciation, we recognize the profound impact of living with smell loss and dysfunction.

Smell loss was relatively unknown when Anosmia Awareness Day launched ten years ago. COVID-19 has changed that, but support, treatment and cures are still lacking.

Now several groups are working every day to help individuals live with smell loss. As a result of our World Taste and Smell Day activities in 2021, we were delighted to award funds to support the vital work of patient support groups, AbScent, Fifth Sense, and STANA. A donation of $3,000 to each organization was made possible by our generous sponsors: Perfumarie, Young Living, Takasago, ECRO, HCD, and RIFM. Katie Boateng, President of STANA shares the impact of these funds in the video below.

We hope you’ll take a moment today, Anosmia Awareness Day, to appreciate the flavors and aromas around you and remember those who can’t.

If you know others who would be interested in hearing about World Taste and Smell Day 2022, please have them sign up here.

With appreciation for your continued interest, 
The World Taste and Smell Day committee
