Answer 2

Yes, the smell is quite distinctive, though it's hard to describe.

The smell of *fresh* blood is somewhat faint, rather like(go figure,) fresh meat. After it sits in the open for a while, the smell becomes really quite indescribable......... The only way to experience it is to go visit a slaughterhouse, for example....
