Ya know ,

on this olfactory topic  ,

I lost my entire sense of smell for about a year after running my brain cradle into a bunch of steel while on my mountain bike going like , uh  , really fast .

The worst thing wasn't the loss of smell  , it was the phantom " smells "

I called it " alien potpourri "

Very metallic with a hint of " hey , this is super annoying "

One of my clients had the same thing happen to him after being thrown from a horse .

We never discussed the idiosyncrasies of each of our conditions , haha  , but I know he said his sense of smell came back after 3 months I think .

Mine took almost a year to " normalize "

My sister's boyfriend at the time was a neurologist and said I'd probably never get it back .

Go get your money back you spent on that degree  , dude-whatever-your-name-was !
