I never realized this until I first took a break, but regular coffee intake has severely blunted my sense of smell. After about three days of abstinence, everything has an attention-grabbing smell in a way I never realized I had been missing out on for years.
- jimkleiber 4y agoFascinating...perfumeries will often have coffee beans for people to "cleanse their palate" before smelling another perfume. I'm not sure how it works, I guess I'd assume you'd have better smell after having coffee, but I really know very little about biochem and will trust your anecdote until I hear otherwise :-)
- xvedejas 4y agoI suspect it's due to the chemical properties of caffeine and not the smell of coffee. There are plenty of reports like mine for all kinds of stimulants.
- jimkleiber 4y agoAhh, ok, thank you for sharing
