I can definitely think of odors and smell them, certainly more vividly than I can see mental images.
Thinking of fresh bread nearly makes me wonder whether someone is baking it nearby. Sounds are similar for me. I can play most songs in my head with full orchestration, and pick out different instruments. After hearing my alarm and turning it off, I will sometimes think of it later and have to check to make sure it isn't playing again.
Images though, require sustained effort for me to maintain. I would never ever mistake a mental image for a real image - they are completely on completely different "screens" if you will.
