/ɒlˈfæktəri sɛl/
An olfactory cell is a type of sensory neuron responsible for detecting odors. These cells are located in the nasal epithelium and play a crucial role in the sense of smell (olfaction).
The term "olfactory cell" is primarily used in scientific and medical contexts, especially within biology and neuroscience. It is less commonly found in everyday conversation and is more prevalent in written contexts, such as textbooks, research papers, and academic articles.

Damage to an olfactory cell can lead to a loss of smell, known as anosmia.
(Повреждение ольфакторной клетки может привести к потере обоняния, известной как аносмия.)
Scientists study the regeneration of olfactory cells to understand better how olfactory systems recover after injury.
(Ученые изучают регенерацию ольфакторных клеток, чтобы лучше понять, как обонятельные системы восстанавливаются после травмы.)
While "olfactory cell" itself does not have widely recognized idiomatic expressions, the term "olfactory" relates to several phrases about smell:
"If you feel lost, just follow your nose and it will guide you back home."
