Vasomotor rhinitis : This is a condition in which you have a nose that is very sensitive to temperature changes or strong odors. This will typically cause nasal congestion, runny nose, sometimes sinus pressure. Some will complain odors/scents trigger a headache. There are medications that can be prescribed by your doctor for this condition. If it is a significant problem, I urge you to consult with your doctor.
