Phantom Smells? Posted: 05-26-06 14:43pm


I've been experiencing phantom smells for the past few months. They just come out of nowhere when i'm in random places. It's not a bad smell. It's kind of a sweet smell, like oranges. Anyone know what this could be?

Dear NeverGetCaught: It sounds like you are experiencing Phantosmia, a disorder of the sense of smell. It typically starts as an intermittant smell and is usually caused by an damage to the sense of smell from a cold virus, however there could be other causes. There is help available. Good luck.
