The Patel Effect

Becoming nose-blind to a particular smell usually due to familiarity with or prolonged exposure to them. Just like Rover from Rover's Morning Glory's childhood friend Patel. Patel's house reeked of curry, but he was not aware of the pungent stank occupying his home. He was oblivious to the fact that basically everything within a 5 mile radius of his house smelled of the aromatic spice. Also known as Odor fatigue or Olfactory adaption.

Jeffrey was confident he could wear his outfit for one more day. However, The Patel Effect prevented him from realizing the truth that he smelled like a daycare's diaper bin.
