Did you lose your sense of smell after Covid-19?

Knew I had Covid-19 as I lost my sensitive sense of smell completely.  I could never put on scent, rarely and only a tiny bit previously.  

In early March had slight annoying headache behind my left eye and sniffles.  Didn't shut down or have fever.  Kept taking work calls and at that time in L.A. we were all isolated for a month so after those two days noticed couldn't smell anything.  When cooking, putting on lotion, which was a slight smell (because I order unscented items), nothing.  The news told me of this odd after-symptom and after appx a month I could smell again.  Now certain lotions and ointments smell funny.  

Did you lose your smell too?  What was your experience?

    I did for a few weeks but have since gotten it back. I had COVID-19 in April. I had a mild case though.
