Sulfur does NOT smell like rotten eggs. It is Hydrogen Sulfide that smells like rotten eggs. Smell the match.

At room temperature, sulfur is a soft bright yellow solid. Elemental sulfur has only a faint odor, similar to that of matches. The odor associated with rotten eggs is due to hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and organic sulfur compounds rather than elemental sulfur.

Sulfur smells like sulfur... its sort of musty and acrid.
The common suggestion that it smells like rotten eggs is NOT Sulfur, it is Hydrogen Sulfide Gas.
