Figuratively or literally? 1) Brass is a metal alloy which is useful for some things, and it is the preferred material for ammunition cartridges. Other metals can be used, but they do not work as well as brass. Brass is also used for sculpture, but it is heavy and brittle compared to most metals, and it is not suitable for any application. 2) Brass itself does not have an offensive smell, but brass cleaners used to removed tarnish from the brass are pungent, and they may leave the brass with their smell.
