Smell

Anatomy of a nose.

Anatomy of a nose.

How often has a long forgotten memory been awakened by a scent?

How would it feel to have your sniff snuffed?

Smell is power.

Yet, deaf, mute or blind, there is no word for smell-defective.

The subject has been exposed to various stimuli. All senses other than smell have been disabled. Brain devices have been installed to record memories.
