- : a disorder of the sense of smell, especially the perception of odors that are not present.

Although experts don’t know what overall proportion of patients will be affected by parosmia, it is “probably a significant number,” said Justin Turner, medical director of Vanderbilt University Medical Center’s Smell and Taste Center.
Parosmia, or the sensation of a bad odour, may be of functional origin; it sometimes occurs after influenza.
