I think that not being constantly exposed to things that "smell" has made it a lot easier to detect scents.
My daughters were always stunned and amazed at how fast I would know they'd snuck in and cracked open a bottle of "Nail Polish Remover" (acetone) or perfumes.
Didn't stop them from trying though. They tested me a zillion times with that stuff :D
I started buying them pure essential oils (and carrier oil) so they could make their own perfumes because those don't crap me out. They loved those, so that made life a lot easier for me.
