In a specialized department of neuroses, the olfactory function was studied in 74 persons (68 women and 6 men from 21 to 63 years old) without a runny nose and other signs of acute respiratory infections. The control group consisted of 30 relatively healthy people. Attention was paid to anamnestic information about the originality of smell (dysesthesia, hyper- or hyposmia). A clinical experiment was conducted to recognize the smell of cologne, perfumes, deodorants and food products, taking into account the time and accuracy of the determination.
