Does asafoetida smell amazing to you? and if yes do you consider yourself someone with an accurate sense of smell (e.g. identify if someone needs dental work in a conversation, smell who someone has been hanging out with, identify spices and herbs used in a meal with high accuracy, identify the perfume someone wears etc)

I don't know. I have such an extrem nasal septum curvature my cavernosa and smellbuds (Don't know if any of those are correct translations) are totaly dysfunctional. I sat once when I was younger in the livingroom after school an was playing there for more than an hour and as my mother returned from the doctor with my brother who was sick she almost blacked out from the smell in there. my brother vomited right before they left and my mother had no time to clean it. I have smelled nothing. There are only few things strong enough for me to smell them. paprika for some reason. And I hate it.
