Has anyone here experienced olfactory (smell) hallucinations? If so, what type of smells?

Have you heard of Synesthesia?

Do you think you think this is what you are experiencing?

No it’s not, it’s completely different to what I experienced

Hi,

Yes I periodically smell things that aren't there, or experience the wrong smell for things eg I sometimes experience things that should smell minty as a strong urine smell 🤢 The smells that just aren't there at all tend to be petrol, burning rubber or burnt toast. Very bizarre! Is that the sort of thing you meant?
