Question

During Havdalah, if one recited 'Borei Minei Besamim' and then realized they had lost their sense of smell, does this constitute an interruption for the blessing 'Borei Pri Hagafen', since it turns out the blessing on the spices was in vain?

Answer

Since he thought he needed to bless the spices, it does not constitute an interruption, and he does not need to bless the wine again.

According to Biur Halacha, Siman 297, Se'if 5, Dibur HaMatchil 'Ein'.
