I'm colourblind in my nose
...so I'm at a disadvantage this week. But it has reminded me of the probable cause of my nasal disability.

"Here, smell this, it's amazing," said my mate, proffering a glass bottle he'd found. Ever trustful, I snurfed an heroic lungful up my not inconsiderable hooter.

As it turns out, that's not a great idea with undiluted ammonia.

A colourblind synesthete?

To be fair to your mate,
'amazing' is one of many adjectives that could be used to accurately describe the smell of undiluted ammonia.

Ahem
If it was merely a glass bottle that the ammonia came out of then it was most definitely diluted. Properly distinctive in aroma and nastiness, but definitely diluted. Undiluted ammonia at standard temperature and pressure is a gas, if your friend had introduced you to the good stuff it would have come out of a pressurised cylinder and would have done fucked you both up.
