inability to properly identify an odor's "natural" smell
Parosmia (from the Greek παρά pará and ὀσμή osmḗ "smell") is a dysfunctional smell detection characterized by the inability of the brain to correctly identify an odor's "natural" smell.[1] Instead, the natural odor is usually transformed into an unpleasant aroma, typically a "burned", "rotting", "fecal", or "chemical" smell.[2] There can also be rare instances of a pleasant odor called euosmia.[3] The condition was rare and little-researched until it became relatively more widespread since 2020 as a side effect of COVID-19.[4]
