If you are a woman it could be pregnancy that is causing your sense of smell to heighten. A woman's sense of sight, hearing and smell improve during pregnancy.

Environmnetal factors such as air quality and humidity can make your sense of smell more sensitive. Diet can also do this, especially if you are used to eating spicy or fragrant foods, and then you stop eating them. If you use a neti pot to clean you sinuses, this can also make ou more sensitive.

This is all a matter of focus and concentration. Do not be drifting, but have a focus on what it is you are smelling. Try to always concentrate as you are smelling an item.
