Can you say olfactorally see something visually and hear aurally but smell olfactory do surely it must be olfactorally?

You're right to be confused! The words you used are a bit mixed up. Here's how to break down the situation:

* Olfactorily relates to the sense of smell.

* Visually relates to the sense of sight.

* Aurally relates to the sense of hearing.

So, you can't "olfactorally see" something because you use your eyes to see, not your nose. You can't "smell olfactory" because that's redundant – "olfactory" already means smell.

Here's a more accurate way to phrase your thought:

"You can visually see, aurally hear, and olfactorily smell things."

Let me know if you have any other questions about senses or word usage!
