Summary
A Reddit user had COVID the previous year and months later noticed that many colognes smelled the same and pungent, while some energy drinks tasted nasty. They described themselves as a fragrance collector and said different cannabis strains also smelled alike. Over months they tried wet and dry fasts, weight loss, smell training with essential oils and saunas, but nothing helped. They still had the smell problem when posting in June 2022.

Their path
They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
