👉 A persistent difficulty recognizing familiar smells—especially everyday ones like soap, shampoo, coffee, or perfume.

Examples of changes to notice

  • Your usual soap or shampoo smells “off” or like nothing at all

  • Coffee or food aromas seem weak or unrecognizable

  • You confuse smells or can’t name them

  • Scents you once enjoyed no longer trigger recognition

Important reminder

A change in smell does NOT automatically mean Alzheimer’s. Many common things can affect smell, such as:

  • Colds or sinus infections

  • Allergies

  • COVID-19

  • Normal aging

But if the change is unexplained and long-lasting, it’s smart to mention it to a doctor.

Bottom line

🧠 Loss of smell—especially trouble recognizing familiar scents—can be an early, subtle sign of cognitive changes.
Your nose may sometimes notice something is wrong before your memory does.
