What is it called if you can’t smell?

If you can’t see, you are blind. If you can’t hear, you are deaf. If you can’t talk, you are dumb or mute. So if you can’t smell, what the hec do you call it?

Anosmia is the lack of olfaction, or a loss of the ability to smell. It can be either temporary or permanent. A related term, hyposmia, refers to a decrease in the ability to smell, while hyperosmia refers to an increased ability to smell. Some people may be anosmic for one particular odor. This is called “specific anosmia” and may be genetically based.
