As far as I know, anosmia would be the inability to smell. Parosmia would be scents smelling like other things, or the inability to identify certain smells.
And since taste and smell are so closely related, I haven’t been able to drink colas for about 3 years. Dr Pepper is fine though, so I’m okay.
For the first year I had no idea this was a real condition and my family thought I was crazy when I said things smelled wrong. It was a relief when I stumbled upon reddit group and found others.
