Cumbustible gasses in LPG (propane) cylinders have no odor, you cannot smell them. Gas producers add a perfume to the gas so that you can detect leaks with your sense of smell. These perfumes are gasses called Thiols (or Mercaptans) and contain sulphur, which is easily identifiable in tiny amounts by its pungent scent.
