Meet three people whose sense of smell has made a difference to their lives.
A. Helen Keller - a famous activist - was deaf and blind herself. With an extraordinary sense of smell, she could identify people's jobs by the odour on their clothes. ‘When a person passes’, she said, 'I get a scent impression of where he has been’. For her, a smell can remind us of another time and place.
B. James Bell has worked for a perfume company for over twenty years. He says, 'To develop a superior sense of smell, you must train it, like a concert pianist’. After passing a 'smell test', James studied perfumery in France, where he learned to recognise about 2,800 synthetic and 140 natural materials. Since then he has helped to create the world's favourite fragrances.
C. Journalist Lucy Mangan has been anosmic since birth. So she can't smell anything, even the fragrances of roses. She has never tried different perfumes in a shop. As 75-95% of the food flavour comes from its smell, meals haven't had much flavour. Although she can feel the different textures of lasagne, steak or fish, they're all quite tasteless.
