For myself, it's something I've learned to live with and not to make too much out of if I can. I tend to notice it, remark to myself that it's interesting and move on, same with most of what I experience.)

Hah, good way to put it Traveler.
I suppose since it's harder to prove that an olfactory hallucination isn't real-- you can get someoen else to tell you that no, there isn't anyone else in the room or speaking, but they'd concede at "maybe your sense of smell is just more sensative"--I suppose they don't get talked about as much. Except in the context of the recently deceased, which might not be a hallucination.
Mine personally I think are just my memory and subconscious playing tricks on me.

Just last night I awoke out of a deep sleep to the distinct smell of smoke/fire. I jumped out of bed and checked every room and even went outside to find the source. Nada. I stayed up for a half an hour, just waiting. I finally went back to bed, but I still felt uneasy. No way to explain it.

Heh, interesting...I guess we don't focus on them as much as auditory or visual because we have a weaker sense of smell?
One of my friends used to smoke pot quite a bit, and he'd sometimes get "phantom whiffs" of pot smoke (I mean, when he wasn't high).
As for me, I'd probably treat unexplained olfactory hallucinations like any other unexplained hallucination: it wouldn't take long before i'd have a doctor check it out. Not very spiritual of me, i suppose...
