Five senses? Are you sure?

This is a question I have found no answer to. I read the Skulduggery books over and over, and I still haven't found the answer. So here's the question:

Can Skulduggery smell things?

Oh, come now, I'm sure that question has popped into your head before. I mean, he can see he can hear, he can feel pain, so what says he can't smell things? The problem is, though, nothing says he CAN smell. Please help me out here, guys.

    Ahem.

    Um.

    I'm not sure, as you say, I'm fairly confident that the books don't actually mention him smelling anything. Seeing as how he has that shell thing which enables him to stay together and act as though he were still alive, I suppose he would be able to smell things. Seeing as how he can talk without a tongue or voice box and think without a brain, I guess that he could smell without a nose...I think...

    1. I suppose. But, it just seems a bit... kind of... um... I just can't really imagine Skulduggery smelling something.

  2. Look, to be honest. I think if he couldn't smell the gunpowder each time he fired his revolver he would have gone mad years ago. I know I would have.

    So yeah, I think he would be able to smell things.

    1. HA! Bad ghost. I have never heard such nonsense about Skulduggery's sanity. EVERYONE knows he was driven insane by the Faceless Ones. Learn your history.

  3. I don't think he can smell, or taste
