I discovered phantosmia reading your posts, seems like a very difficult condition. Does a saline nasal rinse using a neti pot bring some relief ? Neti pot rinse with Himalayan salt. I suppose that's something you've already tried ? Does castor oil or CBD help ? I hope you will find a solution, keep us posted.
But it looks like phantosmia can be caused by respiratory infections. So one thing i would try is colloidal silver, which is an incredible and very safe antibiotic. It must be easy to find in Switzerland. You can use it internally (drink it) and also using a nasal spray or with a nebulizer. That's the first thing i'd try, nasal spray with colloidal silver (10ppm or 15ppm) many times a day, and if it helps then it could be due to some kind of infection. Good luck !

Thank you for taking the time to search for a solution! Throughout the 10 years I met many doctors and tried countless methods, including most of yours. Some methods provided temporary relief, but stopped working. The phantosmia only got worse.
I am almost out of time aka money. I need a solution that works, so that I can work again. Thats why my last two attempts are:
- Meeting a doctor who might possibly know someone who can do the "transnasal endoscopic exhibition of olfactory epithelium" surgery. Based on my luck, they probably rather know Donald Duck.
- Trying Venlafaxine, which, according to research, has brought relief in one case of phantosmia.
