An ESP Experience with Smell and Taste

I was recently at a local vegetarian restaurant in my town where I frequently go. At the meal I was served water, which I drank. It had the delightful taste of rose, as well as the smell of roses. I was thrilled as I enjoy having rose water placed in drinks such as the East Indian sweet lassi. I was happy that they had added this special elixir to my plain old water!
As I left, I thanked the staff for adding it. One of them looked at me with a comically blank look of "what are you talking about?". The lady who served the water stated that all that was added was lemon. No rose water--no rose anything!
I then realized that I had had an experience with two at once of what the field of parapsychology calls the "clairs" .
We may be more familiar with the usual clairs: clairvoyance (psychic seeing), clairaudience (psychic hearing), clairsentience (empathic feeling) and claircognizance (psychic knowing). But did you know that there are two others a little more rare but becoming more familiar to us? They are clairgustance, and clairsentist or clairalience..
Clairgustance has to do with receiving a message from the spiritual realm through the sense of taste. You may be able to taste something that you have not eaten or even been near.
Clairscentist or clairalience allows a person to smell a fragrance or odor from another realm. It is akin to the gift of clear taste or clairgustance.
An unexpected delight and a reminder that there are so many experiences beyond our normal daily events that we may tap into to enrich our lives!
