Just wondering if someone in the house might be sneaking a cigarette?


What does the OP do for a living? Dirty laundry nearby.

Phantosmia - aka olofactory hallucination. Generally nothing serious
but can be a symptom of a brain tumour.
Or possibly parosmia, where a common scent is mis-interpreted. You may
fart, for instance, and smell a rose ;}. Perhaps you sniff your armit,
and smell wood-smoke.
