John, it wasn't in your head. Your nose hairs actually collect odors & retain them. (I learned this trick from being a Police Dispatcher and talking to police & firemen who had to work death scenes.) After being exposed to something very rank, come home & dip a q-tip in rubbing alcohol. Take a deep breath, then while exhaling very slowly, clean a nostril! Try to do is super quick so you can keep exhaling & letting it dry. You might need to do a couple of breaths in the mouth & out the nose. Once you have it clean and dry, you can repeat on the other side. But until you clean out the inside of your nose, it doesn't matter how many showers you take - you'll still smell the odor because it's STILL THERE! 
Death scene odors (rotting meat in a kitchen is the same concept) can linger for DAYS in your nose. First timers think it's all psychological, but it's not!
