Nice article, Adam.

The argument that the nose's ability to grow accustomed to foul odors proves the

olfactory sense is inferior is plain silly (who told you that?!). Many people

eat something for the first time and want to vomit, but gradually develop a

taste for that particular food (oysters, for example). The same can be true for

scents. I have grown to appreciate several essences that literally sickened me

at first. Choya nakh is one and patchouli is another until I started using them

in perfumes. I think perfumers need to develop their noses the way gourmets

develop their palate.
