This experience made it possible to discover what, in part, people withanosmie : ce handicap sensory which corresponds to the absence or total loss ofsmell.
The texture of chocolate is recognized in the mouth, but the sensations to recognize the taste are canceled with this removal of thesmell.
L’association anosmie.org estimates that “10% of the French population is affected by smell disorders”. This was all the more amplified with the epidemic of Covid.

L’association also works in olfactory rehabilitation protocols.
