Smelling a smell that isn't there!

Has anyone ever had this? I keep smelling a really strong smell like like links body wash for a few mins and then it passes. It's definitely not there to be smelt as it vanishes after a few mins and I smell it everywhere in the car, work, home, walking to work. I done a quick google and it helpfully came up with epilepsy, brain tumour or skitzophenia (none of which I have) and said that you should visit the Dr but I would feel stupid going to my Dr coz I'm smelling something.
Has anyone had this and what was the cause, it's driving me
Insane!

I call it phantom smell. When I was working fulltime in lab in uni, I smelled different chemicals for a splitsecond in the subway on my way home.
And sometimes I think I smell a certain friend of mine, and I look around to see if I can find her. (She doesn't smell bad lol, just distinctive. I am just pretty big into smells.)
I get it sometimes after eating mushrooms.
