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.-- reclaimbozeman, Nov 24 2010 science direct http://www.scienced...euroscience LettersVolume 77, Issue 2, 15 June 1987, Pages 181-186 [reclaimbozeman, Nov 24 2010] The Alchemical Marriage of Alistair Crompton http://sheckley.tripod.com/novels2.htmRead it ...

I still don't understand the idea though.-- hippo, Nov 24 2010 Link pertains to frogs only?

It would also severely impair the abilty to taste.

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.-- MaxwellBuchanan, Nov 24 2010 Thanks, [MB], I always get confused by those three.-- gnomethang, Nov 24 2010 SP. fixed.

Anosmia in that case means gaining a sense of taste ...-- 8th of 7, Nov 24 2010 The poster describes himself as "happy-go-lucky". Are we meant to pick one?-- MaxwellBuchanan, Nov 24 2010 random, halfbakery
