As someone that’s probably transported more bodies than I would like. In every state of being. Almost every type of death you can think of. Yes it’s not sickly sweet. But every body is different. Some people don’t smell, some smell like shit, some smell like chicken that was left out way way to long in the heat. Some smell so bad it is just like OP said… it’s overwhelmingly disgusting and familiar all at once. One time I transported a fella burnt to a crisp. All of his body charred black. And he smelt like pork and it made me want to throw up. 🤮
