This is pretty common. I know that when I smell someone wearing the same perfume one of my ex's used to wear I start feeling all funny in my pants.
I believe this kind of thing is linked to Synethesia, although I could be totally wrong on that one. I certainly know that when I listen to certain songs, I can smell things that had a strong smell I first started listening to it a lot. This is usually only songs that I heard during a strong emotional high or low though.
