Olfactorins 

Those lovely, unknown, rain-smelling molecules released from the ground into the night air after the first rains, ready to hit the olfactory receptors of your own still-a-bit-asleep-nose as you wake up to a new dawn.
"She is aware the air on the plateau is filled with the scent of olfactorins after the first rains as she continues to pound her way onwards: her eyes focussed now on her distant goal, the two, upside-down baobabs at the edge of the escarpment."

Olfactorithmetic 

The ability to glance at a document and announce "This number smells wrong". It is not necessarily correlated with the ability to show workings as to why it's wrong. Those who have cultivated olfactorithmetic abilities may need to ask a colleague to calculate, but often the numbers their noses identify turn out to stink."
THE BBC, Mike Moore observes, isn’t universally blessed with the ability to detect numbers that smell wrong, or olfactorithmetic.

Serial Monogamist 

Someone who jumps from one relationship immediately into another one.

Serial monogamists can not stand to be alone and often suffer from vast commitment and insecurity issues.

Because they jump into relationships immediately after the previous one has ended, serial monogamists typically don't take the time to reflect on their behavior or why their previous relationships failed; thus, they end up making the same relationship mistakes over and over again.

Person 2: No, he's a serial monogamist...
