QotW - 22.05.30 - Why can't my partner smell certain "countryside" aromas?
« on: 24/05/2022 15:00:46 »
Listener Tim wants to know the explanation for this scented situation.

"Why can't my partner smell certain strong odours when in the countryside? She can smell manure but is immune to smelling certain potent flowers and herbs?"

Why do you think this is the case? Discuss your answers in the comments below...
