The smell of H2S is an innate property of the chemical. If you live in a region of natural thermal activity, you will become desensitized to the smell.

Unfortunately, the same desensitization stops your sense of smell, and in an atmosphere containing a fatal level of this gas, you will succumb to it.

Occasional deaths at the New Zealand thermal springs demonstrate this.
