And read it, I did. I’ve never thought about how we can’t independently describe smells. I do feel like the descriptions based on taste would count as independent, though. It less that they’re dependent on taste and more that taste is very related to smell. There’s certainly a lack of useful smell descriptors, still.

But what do I know. There’s a class of smells that I call “round”. They’re the opposite of sharp or pungent, I suppose
