Anosmia is defined as the lack of functioning olfaction, or in other words, an inability to perceive smells. It can be either temporary or permanent. A related term, hyposmia, refers to decreased ability to smell, while hyperosmia refers to an increased ability to smell. Some people may be anosmic for one particular odor. This is called “specific anosmia” and may be genetically based.
