Okay, this one's weird
I'm anosmic, but occasionally either randomly smell something for a brief time, or my brain hallucinates a 'smell'. I have no frame of reference for what the smell is, I can only describe it in terms of something else.
Imagine you're sitting next to your dog. You know it's your dog, you see it, you hear it breathing, feel it move. You decide to pet it. You're fully expecting to feel the soft fur, the warmth of the dog. Instead, what you feel is the cold, hard, smooth marble of a statue of your dog.
That moment where you still 'feel' what you're expecting before your brain changes it to what you actually feel.......That's what I'm currently 'smelling'
I think this ones going to give me a headache
