It smells like sweet like maple syrup. You may have smelt it before in some industrial areas.

  1. Probably benzene.  Ethylene glycol is odorless.  Best to avoid it if you smell it again: benzene is a fairly potent carcinogen.


  2. Ethylene Glycol (main ingredient in antifreeze) is suppose to taste sweet I imagine it smells sweet as well.  Maybe in a purer form that was it.  Got me.
