When all is said and done, every one-word answer here will seem creative/weird/non-idiomatic to native speakers. The only reason you think there might be relevant words for smelling/tasting/hearing/feeling is because we have that "fossilised expression" involving beholder (a word which is almost never used in any other contexts today). | |

But the question is about an exact translation of hte expression between senses. No natural Englishness is required and weirdification is free to dive into. | |
