If you have a normal sense of smell then you do not have Kallmann's syndrome. Another name for Kallmann's syndrome is hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism with anosmia. There are a number of different forms of hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism (HH) and Kallmann's syndrome makes up around half the cases, but it is the only form associated with anosmia. It was necessary for your doctor to eliminate these other forms before a firm diagnosis of your condition could be made and detailed testing begun. However there is no difference between the treatment of Kallmann's syndrome and HH.

The prefix hypo- is derived from the Greek word "hupo", meaning "a deficiency or lack of". "Hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism with anosmia" describes a deficiency of the gonadotrophins LH and FSH resulting in a reduced function of the gonads (testes or ovaries) and associated with an absent sense of smell, or anosmia. A minority of people with Kallmann's syndrome are not totally anosmic but they may have only an exceptionally weak sense of smell, or hyposmia.
