Default Sweet Smell Upon first Start of the Day

Anyone else experience a sweet smell upon the first start of the day. Coolant is in normal range, after I drive around Ill come home and let the car run in the garage for a few minutes and it is not there... Simply the first start of the day the garage has a sweet smell. At first I thought coolant but there are no leaks and the level is good.

-Any thoughts or similar experiences?

Thanks guys!

Might you have inadvertently pumped some E85 fuel in? When I was using Flex Fuel (in an Impala that could)
there was a very distinct and somewhat pleasant sweet smell when you backed up through the exhaust.
