Just a thought...could it be a memory trying to surface? I wonder because you said you are usually just falling asleep or just waking up, and I've read that sometimes memories first start to come back in dreams.
As for what the smell might be, that's hard because it could be a combination of things; especially if it smells bitter and sweet at the same time. Like if someone was wearing perfume while they clean, they might smell like bleach and perfume mixed together.
Take care!!
