Yes but only maybe once or twice. Not one of my natural strong points. The proper term for you describe is:
Clairalience (smelling)
In the field of parapsychology, clairalience [presumably from late 17th century French clair (clear) & alience (smelling)] is a form of extra-sensory perception wherein a person acquires psychic knowledge primarily by means of smelling.[13]
Spirits often communicate to loved ones this way as a way to say hello. Mediums who are more prone to this type of awareness often receive multiple types of smells, some non pleasant and visa versa as a way for the spirit or ghost (2 different things by the way) to communicate to the medium a situation, feeling, memory, ect.
