Is it true that olfactory adaptation makes people stop noticing a room's smell after prolonged exposure?
Yes. A reference entry defines olfactory fatigue/adaptation as the temporary inability to distinguish an odor after prolonged exposure, and a peer-reviewed paper notes olfactory habituation can persist. Other studies confirm adaptation to odors in specific populations.
