Must Read: Phantasomia
The New York Times has a fascinating article about phantom smells that appear after losing a loved one. Author Julie Myerson began smelling whiffs of the perfume of her mother-in-law five years after her death, and tried to decipher this disturbing yet delicious phenomenon...

What is the date of this article in the NYT or the approximate one? This sounds fascinating.
If you click on the article's link you'll see that it's from January 2nd, 2016 ;-)
Lisa, I'm not sure if what you're experiencing is olfactory hallucinations. Maybe some of the oils you diffuse at home cling to your clothes, or other objects. Maybe they even cling to your finger after you open/close the lid on the bottles...
