Sense of smell

[CharlieHorse]

This is really strange.
Lately, I've noticed that my sense of smell has significantly sharpened.
I haven't changed any diet habits or anything like that, so I don't know what it could be.

It's not a bad thing, but it's kinda weird.
Multiple times recently I've asked someone in class if they smell something, (like peppermint for example), and it isn't until like 5 minutes later that the person turns back and says "yeah, I can kinda smell peppermint now".

My dad made bacon a few days ago, and I was upstairs. We didn't know he was cooking, but I could smell it perfectly, but my brother couldn't...
:???:

Girls' perfume smells not only a little stronger, but more sophisticated...
Idk what it is? :???:

Am I allowed to bump this?

Possibly due to puberty, at around 15-25 you re at your prime in almost everything

Strange the complete opposite has happened to me. I find it very difficult to smell fresh bake cookies in my kitchen. Even if I'm in my living room.

This is pretty interesting, and my guess is that it has something to do with development. Remember, the brain grows during puberty along with the rest of the body, and maybe the cortex of your brain that handles smell has had a major upgrade, out of a lack of a better word, which is why you're smelling things better.
