It's weird, but some smells can seem to linger in your sinuses. I've noticed that the smell of death is one of those smells--after burying a dead animal, I kept smelling death for days, even though I showered and changed my clothes right away. I don't know if it's psychosomatic due to unpleasant associations, or if there are still particles inside your head or what.
Clean your ear out with alcohol, that should help with the itch and the smell, and possibly kill any infection. If it's still bothering you after a week or so, it's probably worth a trip to the doctor.
Is it normal that my earwax smells like mildew?
