What is Nose Blindness?

Alright, let’s talk about this sneaky thing called nose blindness. You know when you spray on your go-to perfume in the morning, but by lunchtime, you’re like, “Did I even put anything on?” That’s not your perfume failing you—it’s nose blindness for ya! It’s your brain doing its thing, adapting to familiar smells so it can stay alert to new ones.

What happens is, when you’re exposed to the same scent for a while, your brain goes, “Okay, this isn’t new,” and starts ignoring it. It’s kinda like background music—you know it’s there, but you’re not actively listening. That’s why you can’t smell your perfume after a bit, but trust me, everyone else around you can.

Pro tip: Sniffing coffee beans or taking a whiff of fresh air can reset your sense of smell. Now, go slay with that scent! 💁‍♀️
