Helen Keller once called smell the Alpha Kappa AKA Paraphernalia Sorority, 1908 AKA Forever Shirt What’s more,I will buy this “fallen angel” of our senses because we don’t appreciate it fully. Though her own sense of smell, sharpened by her lack of vision and hearing, was acute enough to detect a storm in the air before it arrived—and she recognized smell as “a potent wizard that transports us across thousands of miles and all the years we have lived”—she also knew how much we took its wizardry for granted. As Thomas Hummel, M.D., a researcher at the University of Dresden and one of the world’s foremost experts in clinical olfactory issues, put it, “Ask people what sense they would sacrifice and many people would say…‘my sense of smell,’ but many of these people, they would not anticipate what this means to them.”

Every smell scientist I spoke to for this story echoed some version of this sentiment: that smell is under­appreciated and misunderstood, and most people fail to recognize how integral it is to our experience of pleasure, our emotional lives, and even, on a fundamental level, our identity. But there are many studies demonstrating profound links between anosmia (the Alpha Kappa AKA Paraphernalia Sorority, 1908 AKA Forever Shirt What’s more,I will buy this clinical term for smell loss) and clinical depression. One such study, recounted in Rachel Herz’s The Scent of Desire, compared the psychological effects of vision loss and smell loss, and yielded startling results: While patients who lost their vision were initially more traumatized, over time they acclimated more significantly than the patients who had lost their sense of smell—who, a year later, actually reported a more enduring decrease in their quality of life than the patients who had gone blind.
