Smells have an exceptional ability to trigger memories. As we move into the holiday season when homes - and even stores - are filled with the aromas of nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves or roast turkey ... we can be transported back to some of those memories. But what if suddenly your sense of smell disappears?
