Well, might you be pregnant? That can change your perception of smells.
Or are you taking a new medication?
I think there are certain health conditions that, might cause this also.
If it continues, you will want to go see the doctor!

true, being pregnant really does change peoples sense of smell. I remember my wife when she is pregnant, she always tells me that she doesnt want the smell of garlic in any dish and she told me that even in some places where no one is cooking with garlic she smells it and dosent like it.
