The sense of smell: olfaction.
The sense of taste: gustation
And oh how it sucks when a head cold sucks these senses right out of you. My understanding is that the loss of these particular senses results from mucus congestion. Well, whatever the case, for someone like me, not being able to smell or taste food is like....is like.....well....it's just horrible. Never mind the fact I'm coughing and sputtering and blowing my nose every 2 minutes (which is especially attractive when trying to make a good impression at a new workplace), but what's worse is that I am unable to taste or smell anything!!
I don't like this, not one bit.
