Is it normal to be able to smell a sneeze?

Every time i hear/see someone sneeze (in person) i swear i can smell it. It doesn't smell bad but i could just smell the difference in the air.
i've always been able to do this
does anyone else get this?

    Yes! I know this very well.

    Mine and my sister's always smell like lavender + water that's been a little musty. But not a bad smell. It's noticeable.

    I dont understand people that say they cant smell a sneeze! They must have no sense of smell.

    I have smelled some gross, unhealthy sneezes though. Mainly from old, sick people. ew

    Not wierd at all. U have sensitive smelling ability. And sneezes are filled with bacteria. Bacteria smells ... Also people with asthma ..., it can get bad and bad breath ... But no amount of mouth wash will work, the smell comes from their lungs
