Anosmia: Loss of smell.
Hyposmia: Partial loss of smell.
Dysosmia: Disagreeable or distorted sense of smell
Hypogeusia: Diminished sense of taste
Dysgeusia: Distorted sense of taste

I am not sure about the sense of touch. I do know that you can have no sense of touch but still feel the pleasure of cuddling. A separate network of nerves was discovered that is involved in cuddling, so people that can't feel you pressing on them, feel a pleasing sensation if stroked.

If you lost every sense, you would be a vegetable. I would personally call it the Stephen Hawking syndrome, save for the super-intelligence he has.
