    OK- Ive had this before and I am a paranormalish 13-year-old but no one believes me.

    When I was in school, this really big smell of perfume came into my classroom, then left. It came back random times only twice for two days then it was gone.

    Mine, was a "thing" that wasn't there, and it followed me. Yours isn't a perfume smell, it's just a smell to what you say to it. Trust me, get a sage and put it in the corners of your room to keep the good spirits in and the bad out. Your's was just like my experience, it's something that wants to tell you something.

    Good luck!

    Well, since you are in an apartment and "sharing" the air with your neighbors, it could be the odor from a messy tenant.

    Once every 4 days or so, place dryer sheets over your vents.

    It will keep your place smelling fresh.

    If your apartment is old, and there are a few stories, rats or roaches could have nests in between floors.

    Maybe have a tenants meeting to see if others are noticing the odor as well.

    olfactory hallucinations are the first sign of brain damage.

    and they're usually bad smells, like something rotting.

    it's also possible that there is a dead animal in a vent near there, or actually in the back of the stove or under it.

    and it could be something weird.

    there are more things in heaven and earth horatio...

    Clean your stove real good and go through the whole apartment and give it a good thorough cleaning using a good pine cleaner and odor ban and I bet this will stop the smell.

    who ever smelt it, dealt it.

    **just messing around, it most likely could be a gas leak. i would contact manangement and let them know your smelling possible gas in the apartment.

    Source(s): ....maybe under the oven...a rat or a mouse dead possibly? or it could be mold inside the walls, either case, contact your apartment manager and let them know right away

    might be an animal in the house

    It's a skunk ape. Or maybe you just fart a lot and don't notice.
