I think it depends on the diet and body composition, as well as how long they’ve been dead and under what climate conditions. Some smell sweet or fruity. Some smell, like, dusty. The way an old crypt smells. Some have a sour or rancid smell.
Does all decay smell the same you think? We had a rat get into our house and die in a place we couldn’t get to no matter what so we had to let it decay and it only smelled in a little nook but fuck did it smell terrible until it finally turned into a skeleton

It is and is not the same, its like i was comparing it to a fridge of food going months justing sitting and festering as it rots and its itsell in a bath of bacteria. Fucking disgusting, but its worse when its a persons dead smell.
Ive been thigh high in sewage, its not as bad as that, but very close but in a mental disgust way.
