Freon, DuPont R22 (Dichlorodifluoromethane) is described in the MSDS as having a "slight ethereal" odor. I cannot say that I have noticed any odor from any systems that I have accidentally dumped. Then, again, I don't stick around to sniff it and I have never dumped a system in an enclosed space.

If you have ever smelled chloroform, it is also described as having an "ethereal" odor. It is best not to sniff that either.

What does freon smell like?

Odorless. What you are smelling is antifreeze, leaking from the heater core in your car. I DISAGREE: Freon smells a bit like ether and should not be inhaled. Freon is a gas that does not have a color or smell, however, you should NOT breathe it.
