Great thoughts. I have some footnotes to chase. Smell (perception of) changes during pregnancy. Sorry to hear about losses in your life.

It’s funny you mention corn. I get an abstract cornness from Mortel by Cire Trudon, which is a frankincense, myrrh, and pepper style of incense perfume.

This is fascinating. As someone who samples a new scent everyday and records impressions, I’m realizing I should go back to a number of periods and revisit. Thank you for sharing this information but more importantly thank you for sharing of yourself so vulnerably. I hope you find the supports you need to emerge from the fog.
