When did your smell return after Covid?

Wife is on month 11 with no return of smell

Around 8 weeks for me

It's been better recently the past few days. Maybe 50%

9 months without it. 18 months now and still not normal

It’s going on a year on December 27th for a friend of mine. She could smell nothing and it evolved to everything smelling faintly car of engine exhaust.
Crazy shite man.

It took almost 18 months for my smell and taste to fully recover to what it was pre-covid.

Well, looks like this might last longer than I expected. At least I don't have to worry about whatever variant they come up with next (not vaxed, well naturally vaxed now)

Mind returned in a few days ;however, Coffee still smells funny to me. I had Covid in late July.

Had Covid January 20th. Taste came back at 8 months. Smell is not yet 100%. I can discern certain smells but some things have the weirdest scent I have ever experienced. I actually started a thread on this a few weeks ago. Piss, shite, farts, coffee, salad dressings with vinegar, barbecue sauce, hand sanitizer, gumbo, peanut butter, and many other things smell like a combination of coffee, soured red wine, and a metallic accent that I can’t describe. All of those items literally smell exactly the same. I am so fricking pissed beyond belief because I don’t think I will ever be right again. One of my greatest qualities used to be my sense of smell. It has saved my life more than once where an ordinary person probably would have died. I once smelled a buck in the woods before I actually saw him. frick China, frick Covid, and frick Joe Biden.
