I know I'm not the only one that this happens to but it seems to happen more frequent with me. Every day, at different times of the day in different places, I'll start smelling roses......and there are no roses around me when it happens. There's no one around me, no air fresheners, no perfume....nothing that could have the scent of roses to it. I've looked around online for the reason that this might be happening to me and I found several different answers. One answer suggested I go see a doctor as it may be an olfactory (nose) problem....or something more serious like a brain tumour or stroke. Another answered said that certain things a person does can trigger olfactory memories. Like going to a certain place can bring about the smell even though there's nothing there. And then the last answer said that it often happens to psychics (which is a practice I've delved in a bit) and it's called Clairalience, (clear smelling) This is when you can smell things that have no physical source. It's common when you may have a deceased loved one with you. You may smell their perfume, tobacco smoke, etc. But I really don't know any deceased loved ones that had a perfume that smelled like roses.
I suppose I will just have to live with it. At least it's a pleasant smell. I can't go to the doctor becuase I can't afford it. And becuase I worry that they may find something serious, since I have been having other problems too. The last time I went to the doctor was at age 14....and they discovered I had scoliosis. I had to have surgery for it and everything (which really sucked!). If my sense of smell starts going away then I'll go to the doctor. I had to deal with not having a sense of smell for 14 years of my life...I'm not about to deal with it again!
