What are different methods to protect your nose from smell?
I would be curious to learn more about the range of solutions. E.g. how do people cope who work in very smelly environments?
The perineal favorite is Vicks VapoRub daubed copiously on the top lip just under each nostril.<p>There isn't much that can overwhelm that solution although something like a liquefied sealed body bag that's been stewing in the sun for a few days does manage to seep through when first opened.
The previously mentioned Vicks or cigar tricks are good and cheap.<p>If you don't want to mask it, then you could try a respirator with activated charcoal filters (like for painting and staining).
