I’m a super smeller, and I’ve trained it well and made myself some party tricks. For example, I can identify a coffee down to the grow region and altitude based on the scent of a fresh cup.
Also I can roll myself up into a little ball and be very compact. I used to date someone with a thing for contortion, I don’t think I’ve really shown it off since.
I’ve got a very specific ‘talent’ in that regard. I can smell when tomato sauce has the right amount of salt.
I put that into quotation marks, because it’s more of a learned skill probably, since I have cooked potentially literally a metric ton of tomato sauce in my life.
My mum once joked that she’s surprised I’m not orange from all the tomato sauce I eat.
I wouldn’t call myself a super smeller, but I smell things to check how hot they are because hot things smell different. My wife cannot believe in my ability and mocks me and says I’m just feeling the heat with my face.
Well, similar to how hot things sound different when poured because their viscosity is different, the heat would also cause different compounds to be released and likely also release more aroma in general I guess.
