Well, yes and no. The members of my immediate family have distinct scents
that I can recognize and differentiate. However, my sense of smell is such
that I can only pick up their scents when we are in the closest of embraces.
In that situation, if blindfolded, I would be more readily able to
differentiate them from the *feel* of the embrace as opposed to the scent.
But if their scents could somehow be magnified so that I could pick it up
without a tight hug, then yes, I do believe I could pick them out by smell
alone.
