Clairolfaction Quotes

“There is nothing automatically 'nice' about clairolfactory psychic impressions that we should confidently refer to them as clairscents, clairfragrances, or even clairaromas. In fact, quite the contrary! These perceptions can at times be really nasty and putrid.”
― Anthon St. Maarten, The Sensible Psychic: A Leading-Edge Guide To True Psychic Perception

“I suspect the ill-conceived psychic term 'clairalience' may be a mash-up of 'clair-' with a misheard echo of olfaction, or simply a word invented to sound French or Latin. At some point, it made sense to someone, or sounded cool, and eventually caught on. I have also never been able to pinpoint exactly when this linguistic concoction was invented, or by whom. So, I prefer the term clairolfaction because it is more precise and linguistically defensible.”

“The correct word is clairolfaction. Psychics and mediums already face enough skepticism, scorn, and ridicule. We really do not need to add poor vocabulary to the mix by using silly words like 'olfactance' and 'olfacience', which you will not find in any reputable English dictionary.”
