I spent many years without a sense of smell and it is a joy to have it again. I have read where it is suggested that chemical overload and even essential oil scent overload is causing people to lose their sense of smell, especially cleaning products. It is like an ever climbing spiral, as we become less sensitive, we add more, layer upon layer, from our washing powder to our shampoo, deodorant, room freshener, washing up liquid and on and on.... We've taken that sense for granted and forgotten what it is really for; survival, hunting, food storing and eating, and of course, recognising each others scent. What a shame to destroy that, after all we wouldn't deliberately and systematically compromise our eye sight or our hearing? or do we? I'm sure we are even doing that with so much electrical gadgetry, noise pollution etc. Food for thought hey. Hold onto your smells Simple Man, thanks for the musings.Tanya Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04867118885094628168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1961960550151154824.post-80132917739013475862014-03-10T04:36:53.367-07:002014-03-10T04:36:53.367-07:00I know exactly what you're talking about regar...I know exactly what you're talking about regarding someone's scent...sometimes they bring back memories enough to make you smile or shed a tear.<br />I'm actually in awe of you as a dad for loving the scent of your son's head, it's usually mothers who are the ones that are more cognisant of such things.VirginiaChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17282569773671179047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1961960550151154824.post-31179558113205134082014-03-08T10:39:34.961-08:002014-03-08T10:39:34.961-08:00Nowadays, it would only take 37 minutes.Nowadays, it would only take 37 minutes.Sharkbyteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10139935335209860357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1961960550151154824.post-89894107867372817012014-03-08T02:24:48.782-08:002014-03-08T02:24:48.782-08:00Bring back the old spice, Tom used to smell lovely...Bring back the old spice, Tom used to smell lovely in the 60's, (not that he doesn't now. lol) I wonder if you can still get it?<br />Briony<br />xcrafty cat cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251582085392890533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1961960550151154824.post-75410668875124964972014-03-07T17:07:17.624-08:002014-03-07T17:07:17.624-08:00It is funny that you mention the products for men ...It is funny that you mention the products for men that change their smells. My oldest grandson likes to cover himself with that stuff too. Sometimes your eyes water. My daughter-in-law thinks he does it because he stinks but I know that he showers every day. And every once in a while I will catch a whiff of something that will remind me of the way someone who is no longer here smells. Smells can be so comforting.Emma Springfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543689047463574012noreply@blogger.com
