Q: Olfactory hallucination

Today was the second time where everything smelled of bananas. First time was a few months ago and only lasted a day.

I was wondering if there are any false olfactory hallucinations? Like if there were any less threatening reasons other than brain problems. And how long do these olfactory hallucinations last on average?

I do have nasal allergies that sometimes get really inflamed, but I haven't had any recently.
