It's a hallucination - synasthesia would be where I was smelling smells when I heard e.g. particular musical notes. It seems quite fascinating - I was watching a programme on the TV where a woman saw colours for musical notes, and a man smelled different smells according to his friends names. The latter seemed annoying - it often made him queasy.
Nothing seems to prompt the hallucinations, or at least, not consciously. Usually they are smells associated with strong memories - it's surprising how evocative they are.
