A member asked:

Can a certain smell stick to our noses when the sense of smelling stopped long ago because of the allergy? the dettol smell is really annoying.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: There is a condition called phantosmia where a person smells something that isn't there. Usually it is the smell of smoke but it can be anything. Sometimes it resolves with vigorous treatment of the associated allergic nasal inflammation or allergic rhinitis.
