Hi!
Welcome to HCM!
You did not mention your age and gender.
I can understand your problem, I am of the opinion that you are suffering from a disorder of odor perception known as parosmia or Olfactory hallucination.
Potential causes of this abnormality could be a brain tumor, inflammation, stroke, or an injury following head trauma.
To rule out these causes you must see your doctor.
I find this answer helpful
