Nose doctors and scientists have reported that the global smell problem that began 2 week ago in or near the Alps is not getting better, or worse.
The smell, thought to have started in or around Switzerland, or France while not unpleasant, is a bit distracting. It had reached Ireland where after a week people stopped being polite and began asking ‘What is that smell?’ And, ‘Am I the only one who can smell that?’
It quickly spread from there across the Atlantic.
While there have been widespread reports of more sniffing, authorities say there is no need to panic at this stage.
Investigations are believed to be focused on a secret perfume laboratory near Geneva as a possible source but this is as yet not 100% confirmed due to strict Swiss smelling privacy laws.
