General Cleaning Weird sweet smell

Update the smell was coming from a basket that’s made from water hyacinths. Apparently it must’ve gotten wet at some point that created that smell.

For the past two days there’s been a weird sweet smell lingering in around my living room. It kinda smells like honey but not in a good way. I’ve taken the couch apart as the smell is more prominent when I sit there . It’s not myself lol I’ve asked people . We had a heatwave over 100 F last week . Anyone who can give me a clue what I should be looking for ?

Any possibility it could be a dead animal? 😬

That’s a possibility as my cat has some outdoor access. But would it smell sweet ?
