Phantom smells?
For about a year and a half I have been getting these random smells come from nowhere. The scent lasts a few seconds and a lot of the time they are actually really pleasant and have been quite nostalgic and sometimes it smells awful or I know the smell but I can't put my finger on what it actually is.
Here are some things I have randomly smelt
Ouch strawberry bubblegum
2 different types of soaps with one being imperial leather
tropical cordial
cucumber
banana smoothie
millipede
powdery mould
yucky musky perfume
cat feaces
hot chips
popping candy
pink antibiotic liquid
ginger beer
fruit loops
tutti frutti jungle chew
licorice
musk sticks
vinegar
toasted marshmallow
cherry starburst
This isn't all of them, just an example. I have been writing a list every time I smell something I recognise. I will be speaking to my GP but I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced smelling things that aren't there.

Olfactory hallucinations are actually a sign of brain dysfunction, which can be caused by DNA, stroke, tumor, TBI, etc.
