The smell is the most powerful sense we have. It’s what can make us feel nostalgic and happy but also sad. Perfumes are a must-have for any well-put-together person’s wardrobe. But what if you suddenly start smelling something sweet, cigarette smoke, or an old lady’s perfume out of nowhere?
Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always been super into spiritual and supernatural things. Not because someone told me to be interested but because it was just something I felt drawn to on my own. I clearly remember when my family moved to this new house, and for a few weeks in a row, I would smell a super strong old lady perfume in my bedroom.
It didn’t matter if I opened the window or sprayed a different scent, I could still smell that powerful, sometimes stomach-turning perfume. Even as a little kid at the time, I realized there had to be more going on than just a coincidence with all those sweet, floral, or woody scents and perfumes.
The Soul of The Deceased
Smelling perfume out of nowhere could be a sign from someone who’s passed away. If it’s a scent you recognize, from your grandma’s perfume she always wore or your dad’s cologne, it’s their way of letting you know they’re thinking of you. It’s not totally clear what the message is, but they definitely want you to know they’re still around even if you can’t see them.
It’s pretty common for people who have died to try and get our attention with things like repeating numbers or finding coins on the ground. Perfume is another way they might try to say, “Hey, I’m here with you.”
If you smell a cologne or perfume you’ve never smelled before, that could mean the spirit of someone who used to live where you now come back to visit. Souls tend to go back to places they knew when they were alive. You might catch a whiff of their scent or even see things moved around a little. Ever put a knife on the counter just to find it in the hallway later? That’s the kind of thing I’m talking about.
There are also stories of suddenly smelling something sweet at home, like flowers or cookies. That could be from someone who passed on enjoying that smell when they were living there before. Their presence shows through scents they liked back then.
While it’s not scary to me, a lot of people get freaked out by things like this. But there’s really nothing to be afraid of – they just want you to know they’re still around.
Guardian Angels
If you smell perfume when there’s no one around wearing any, it could be a sign your guardian angels are trying to get your attention. They don’t want to scare you, they just want you to know they’re there looking out for you.
Some people notice signs from their angels in the form of certain numbers like 777 or 1111 showing up all the time. Others find white feathers or coins every day. There are definitely different signs angels use, and smelling perfume out of nowhere is one of them.
While some people pick up on angel messages by hearing things or seeing things, others are more sensitive to smells. So next time a perfume smell hits you, and you’re alone, take it as a sign your angels have your back and are there to guide and protect you. And no, it doesn’t really matter if it’s a sweet smell or spicy or woody – just know they’re there.
Twin Flame Reunion
If you believe in the concept of twin flames, smelling a random perfume could mean you’re going to see, meet, or reunite with your twin flame soon. You might not be able to place the smell, but it’ll make you feel something emotionally. Your feelings about it will be so strong that you can pick up on the smell no matter where you are or what you’re doing.
Twin flame relationships are said to be super deep, to the point where people can’t really describe them with words. Some people apparently see their twin flame’s name everywhere before meeting them or have really vivid dreams about them. Others will straight up smell their twin flame’s perfume out of nowhere. If you’re hoping to connect with your twin flame, take a random perfume smell as a sign that they’re thinking of you or close by.
A Reminder of Your Purpose In Life
When I was a kid, I really wanted to be a pilot. Unfortunately, some health issues came up as I got older, so that’s not an option anymore. I used to love going to the airplane museum and looking at all the pictures of different planes and pilots. Whenever I entered the building, I noticed the receptionist lady was wearing this really strong, woody perfume.
Even now, over 20 years later, sometimes, if I’m feeling down or things aren’t going great, I’ll just suddenly smell that perfume out of nowhere. It’s so weird, but I can smell it whether I’m at home, out in the woods, in the car – it doesn’t matter.
After a while, I started to realize it’s like my brain’s way of reminding me to stay focused on my goals, no matter what. That place was all about airplanes and following my biggest dreams so I think smelling that perfume is my mind bringing back the good memories from when I was a kid and super motivated.
Obviously, that lady has nothing to do with me nowadays. But I always associated her with that museum, where I’d go to daydream about being a pilot. So if you ever just randomly smell a smell that takes you back, maybe think about what it could symbolize for you and your goals.
