Does asafoetida smell amazing to you? and if yes do you consider yourself someone with an accurate sense of smell (e.g. identify if someone needs dental work in a conversation, smell who someone has been hanging out with, identify spices and herbs used in a meal with high accuracy, identify the perfume someone wears etc)

    IMO it’s a lot like garlic in that smells amazing when you’re hungry and about to eat it but kind of disgusting to smell outside of that context.

    I guess I have a maybe above average sense of smell/taste, or perhaps just more honed from cooking and tasting coffee and spirits for their tasting notes and such.
