Tangible would be the word, except that it's the same as palpable. So let's stay with the general term 'perceptible'.

In most of the languages there's a shortage of words to describe smells and tastes. I think it's because these senses are hard to share - you have to share a small space or some food with someone to get them to sense the same thing you do, while sounds and images travel at a much higher speed and cover larger distances, so many people can hear and see the same at the same time.

The well known orphan in this dictionary is the word for hot food (also means high temperature in English), which is sharp (scharf) in German, angry (ljuto) in Serbian, strong (erős) in Hungarian, pinching (picante) in Spanish (someone correct me on this one) etc etc. We discussed this before, IIRC (so you don't have to type another "deja vu" message :).
