You are having auras and it's common to have an "off" smell during one. I get a nauseated when I start an aura. I don't get the metallic taste but others do. Your auras may be progressing into complex partial seizures which would explain the the light headed feeling and the fatigue.
If you are able to tell someone to watch you as you start the aura, they may be able to give you more information on what you do/don't do. That would help to know what you are doing.

intensifications and smell

In addition to a non exitent smell can an aura be characterized by "intensification"--ie objects around you seem closer tha they are, like if you are 10 feet away from a dresser ordinarily you dont see the knots in the knotty pine but in aura you do
