Default olfactory hallucinations and psychic experiences

I was wondering if anyone here has experienced olfactory hallucinations, linking directly to any "psychic" experiences? of any type , if so I would love to know of some...

here is one deffention of this :

Olfactory aura symptoms
"Parosmia involves a distortion of the sense of smell -- the affected person reports smelling something other than the scent which is present -- for example, the person sniffs a banana but it smells like rotting flesh instead of a banana. Phantosmia involves olfactory hallucinations -- that is, there is no odorant present, but the affected person reports smelling something, usually something unpleasant."


I had an experience one day , there were no flowers in bloom as of yet, no buds on the trees and I was taken back by a strong smell of flowers and in that moment a wonderful memory of my mother,
but it was like I was in that memory in that moment all over again, I could feel her and smell her scent , all my emotions all of my being was taken into that experience

has anyone else had this? I refuse to believe that is just symptomatic of a mental illness , I think there is much more to it
