If we put sugar in our mouth and block our nose so we will not able to taste the food.

As our senses of smell and taste work together to bring the whole experience together.

When you can't smell, you can still taste, but what you are used to describing as 'taste' is actually the combined senses from your nose and tongue and other parts of your mouth. A famous experiment with smell and taste has blindfolded, nose blocked testers taste apples and onions and are unable to tell the difference.

Without the sense of smell, you are not getting the whole flavour profile you are used to experiencing.

Complete and permanent loss of the sense of smell (anosmia) is a very serious condition, not only because you are unable to smell off odours and smoke (just two examples) but because if you are no longer getting the full flavour profile you often lose interest in food, because it isn't as enjoyable.
