This means that you have no sense of smell. If you have anosmia, you can’t smell flowers, perfume or home cooking; this can lead to sufferers becoming intensely depressed. There could be some advantages, like when some diseased arsehole lets go a really poisonous fart you won’t smell it, even though everyone else has tears in their eyes from trying not to puke. Similarly stuck in a boring lecture next to someone whose BO is blistering the paintwork and everyone else thinks that there is a problem at the sewage works you won’t be bothered. By and large, though, anosmia is pretty shitty.
Malcolm must suffer from anosmia, how else does he live with himself.
