Does aroma not count as flavor? I thought one method of identifying arsenic poisoning (which is genetic, so not everyone can do it as I understand) is detecting the scent of almonds?
I have even more bad news for you, cyanide smells like bitter almonds, not sweet almonds(the ones you eat), and as it turns out, bitter almonds smell like that because they contain cyanide. People started saying that because they lived in places that bitter almonds are native to (Europe), and they are still used in cooking (after being processed to remove the cyanide).
Cyanide actually smells like poison, bitter and chemically.

You’re thinking of cyanide.
Arsenic? Cyanide? Don’t trust strangers on the internet. Do your own research! A blind taste test will settle this once and for all.
You just reminded me that i have Arsenic and Old Lace on DVD and haven’t watched it in a few years.
Thank you for the correction.
