un-typical freshness

Forget masking odors. Package aerosol, containing olfactory de-sensitizing chemicals. If the product destroys your senses, you haven't a steady client base and possible legalities. If it wears off in a week, it may fool enough gold into the company pockets to re-invest into similar products; or perhaps a cure for over exposure.

Link repaired. I still don't understand the idea though.

Link pertains to frogs only?
[hippo] I believe the idea is for a chemical to kill one's olfactory senses so no smelling will occur.

Anosmia.

It would also severely impair the abilty to taste.

Might be useful in some circumstances as long as the effect was transient.

//Asnomia//

Not quite. Asnomia is the ancient Greek custom of naming people's bottoms. You may, perhaps, mean "anosmia", which can refer either to a lack of smell, or to the termination of the musical career of an American brother-and-sister band popular in the 70's.

Thanks, [MB], I always get confused by those three.

SP. fixed.

// termination of ... American brother-and-sister band popular in the 70's //

Anosmia in that case means gaining a sense of taste ...

The poster describes himself as "happy-go-lucky". Are we meant to pick one?
