I was looking for information on how it smells and I'm only finding pages that say it smells terrible. Even the Wikipedia only mentions "Due to its diminished vapor pressure, its odor, while unpleasant, is less objectionable than related thiols"

I'm still curious what it smells like though...

Rotten fish/eggs, skunky, very strong, and it lingers. Even the smallest amount will clear a room.

Found this.

And this.

Can confirm. I use it under the chemical hood with gloves on, and even if I use just a few microliters I can still smell it on my fingers hours later
