Well, it depends on the heat of the air and how much air there is. Smells spread though the air during the process of diffusion, which happens faster if the air is hotter(the particles of the air will move faster if hotter and therefore the substance will diffuse quicker). Also they will spread faster if there is more air, which means more particles being able to diffuse the substance. I hope that this helps. As you can see, I an an a* student in chemistry!
