Severe smell of chemicals and fragrance that isn’t there

I used to get auras (migraines without headaches) and many times I would smell things that weren't really there during these auras. I would smell things like wet soil (like how garden soil smells when it rains), Flintstone vitamins, cotton candy, and other random odors. No one else around me could smell it, but once I was diagnosed with these auras, I knew why no one else could smell those things.

I have struggled with migraines since I was in high school.
I take an injectable called amivig, and I have been getti getting Botox for migraines for years.
I also have auras, sinus migraines, transmendibular, TMJ headaches.
I am a Legionaries survivor, and got what they called, Pontiac fever, where I had unbearable headaches.
I think these are long term COVID symptoms from what I am ascertaining from other people’s experiences.
I am so highly sensitive to
Scents of most things. I just get an overwhelming sense of a lack of wellbeing.
I do hope it gets better, it feels like a long road… thanks for your help ❤️🩹❣️
