During covid a friend tried a "smell training" kit from amazon and I bought one too. (pretty fun, with rose, lemon, eucalyptus and clove)
basically, some essential oils of one smell at a time.
Looking at more extensive smell kits, there is a huge jump in price if you get a "master wine aroma kit". They can have many many scents.
It might just be putting names to smells, but I also wonder if you can actually develop or enhance your sense of smell (and therefore the aromatic parts of taste)?
I've little doubt that when smell was an important part of finding and identifying food people would have better trained senses. Whether a kit from Amazon can enhance your sense of smell, not sure. Certainly not without spending a lot of time with it.
