CAP DE CREUS (Spain) Of all the people who wish to see the pandemic end quickly, none are as passionate about the olfactory than Ernesto Collado. He is an actor and fragrance maker whose workshop is located in a small village in the northeast corner.The pandemic brought masks that cut off humanity's sense of smell. Mr. Collado called it the sublime which is right now. It also brought with it the possibility that he might become blind to the smell of anything. This was something that had occurred to Collado briefly many years ago, and which caused an existential crisis.There was also the matter of his future smelling tours, which were pioneered in Catalonia and that, for a while, seemed to be under threat.
