Some folks have a heightened sense of smell and with kitchen
ingredients it can be very pleasurable, even erotic. It can also be
irritable--think of all the cig and cigar-phobes. Frankly I envy them.
My own sense of smell seems kinda simplistic, either on or off; and I
wonder what I'm missing.

Unsanitary? Only if she stuck her nose in the stuff she's sniffing.
