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.
Freon is odorless; you cannot smell it.
Freon is odorless, but it is possible to smell the refrigerant oil that could also be leaking.
Freon mixed with refrigerate oil will have a slight smell.................
There is no smell, unless somebody has used something like 22a freon which is actually propane and may have a sulphur smell
R134a Freon is an oxymoron, Freon is R12 but the answer is yes, a subtle 'sweetish' odor

my car a/c smells like freon? Type your answer here...
Freon is odorless. If you're getting a chemical type smell, it's probably anti-freeze leaking from your fridge.
Chlorofluorocarbon smells like Freon
Since you are aware of what freon smells like , and you must know what it is used for , there is only one system in an auto that uses it.
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.
