Test the Quality of your own breath

Yes, there are ways you can accurately detect your own breath. But, you have to take a somewhat divergent route.
Below is the trick, you can try: 
Lick your wrist, wait about 5-7 seconds while the saliva evaporates slightly, and then smell it. 
Ewww, do you think it will work? Try out and let me know in the comment section about the quality of your breath 😜


Try this first test with the front of the tongue (tongue's anterior portion) and comment me did you try it? 
And now second test or experiment - You have to check the odor associated with the back portion of your tongue (tongue's posterior part) 
Take a spoon, turn it upside down, and use it to rub the very
back part of your tongue. (Don't be shocked if you see you have
an active gag reflex.) Take a look at the stuff that has been
scrapped off, usually it's a thick whitish substance. Now, take a smell of
it. Not so bad? Pretty awful? This smell, as opposed to the sampling
from the anterior portion of your tongue, is apparently the way your
breath smells to others.
