Compulsions: this falls into the category of a compulsion. It is one thing to like the smell of a soap, another to crave it. You may have other compulsions of anxieties as well. It would be good to see your doctor and discuss this. While smelling detergent is not unsafe the behavior can be, some therapy may be helpful.
