American Academy of Neurology, some 51 percent of people who lost their sense of smell due to COVID had not regained it five or more months later.Starting at $650, clients get one meeting with Phillips (she also offers a Zoom option, where she sends smell strips ahead of time) and a custom fragrance to take home.
She blends scents using ingredients such as lavender, musk, amber and vanilla, which are divided between top, mid and base notes.
The client then smells individual scented strips to help arouse the dormant sense. It sounds simplistic, but Phillips said she has helped 20 people regain at least some of their ability to smell since the new year.
