When smelling lots of things that are somewhat similar (wines, coffees, etc.) I have found you can get some sort of smell fatigue and stop being able to easily differentiate smells.

One trick I have been taught is to smell something that's very different to reset your senses. I've seen people use their clothes, the back of their hand, etc.

Coffee beans are the go to for this. You'll find them in perfume stores, wineries, etc. I guess it doesn't work when you're already smelling coffees though..
