2023 World Taste and Smell Day with Abscent:
How to think (and eat) like a parosmic.

“Many people who have parosmia struggle to share their experience with loved ones and friends. Smells provoke disgust that often defies description. Learning how to be hypervigilant to avoid the offensive experience of some foods becomes second nature, and often the aroma compounds shared by common foods are not obvious (onions and eggs for example). I'd like to illustrate how this works by asking people to join me in a nibble-taste-compare exercise with three common foods. Will you be able to pick out what is similar? For parosmics affected by this particular compound it is easy. Many normosmics can't quite put their finger on it! Join me to see what you think!” Founder Chrissi Kelly.
