No, it is in fact the opposite. They have glands under their chin, which secretes pheromones, which is their olfactive "signature". By rubbing them on their favorite spots throughout the house, they mark the bounaries of their territory. If one of those spots has a strange odour, the rabbit will feel compelled to "cover" it with it's own smell : that is probably what you saw. The rabbit smells by the nose : if you look closely, you will see your bunny wrinkle it while inspiring. By doing so, it puts the odour in contact with it's olfactive receptors, like us inspiring by the nose.

If you don't keep their litter clean then, yes, rabbits do have a bad smell. If you clean the litter every day or two then, no, rabbits do not have a smell.

Spayed/neutered rabbits also tend to smell less than rabbits that haven't been altered.

If your rabbit is dehydrated, his/her urine will also smell stronger. Make sure your rabbit drinks plenty of water, not just for the smell but also for his/her health.
