?I never had a fabulous sense of smell, but COVID really nerfed it. It came back partially but never what it was before, and lots of things still don't smell right. Coffee and chocolate are definitely duller with coffee being flat out different now. Some things I can't smell at all, however there are some things I can smell WAY better now, and none of them are good. Urine is an extremely strong smell now, anything with sulfur is also really strong, and I literally can't eat anything with cumin or even have it in the house now. So weird.

Same. I lost my sense of smell completely, and it was different when it came back. I notice weird unpleasant smells that I never did before, and for example fried onions absolutely disgust me now when previously I was indifferent.
