noseless

Without a schnoz

Noseless means lacking a nose.

The word describes people, animals, or figures—especially statues—that have lost or never had a nose: The noseless sphinx has weathered millennia.

It occasionally appears figuratively for someone who can't smell or lacks discernment: noseless to the stench of corruption.
