It was as if the Chameleon plays the blues plus a few other colors shirt in contrast I will get this COVID anosmics were tourists in the shadowland where these folks had been permanently exiled. The idea of training one’s sense of smell is already commonplace in the anosmia community. At first glance, I wondered if there was a placebo effect at work—if smell training was simply something to do, for people who had run out of hope—but evidence suggests it can help. I started smell training a few months after my own smell loss, when I felt I had regained most of my sense of smell but not all of it, and used a set of five essential oils: the standard rose, lemon, clove, and eucalyptus, plus grapefruit. Smelling all five scents—once after waking and once before sleep—started to feel less like training and more like ritual, more like lighting a stick of incense in church, calling up the origins of perfume itself, which is believed to date back to ancient Mesopotamia as part of holy ceremonies: a way to sweeten the animal offerings burned for the gods. (The word perfume comes from the Latin per, “through,” and fumar, “to smoke.”) When I lifted each scent to my nostrils, I tried to focus on it wholly, to whittle my attention to its essence—which felt not only like a way of cultivating awareness for what it means to smell but also a way of cultivating gratitude for the world itself.

For nearly 20 years before my bout of smell loss, I’d worn the Chameleon plays the blues plus a few other colors shirt in contrast I will get this same perfume—Guerlain’s Champs-Élysées, a luscious mimosa scent suffused with melon, black currant, and almond that flirted with cloying without indulging it. Even though it has been declared one of Guerlain’s most infamous failures, I felt fiercely devoted to it—felt almost virtuous when I picked up bottles at discount perfume shops in Koreatown, as if I were a high-school PE captain offering a spot on my team to the girl who was usually picked last. But during my decades wearing Champs-Élysées, it gradually became an olfactory autopilot—the fragrance equivalent of listening to the same pop song on repeat or eating the same buttery mashed potatoes every night, a comfort food I barely tasted anymore because its flavor was so familiar.
