What is the smell when a whale blows water from the blowhole?

A whale's air from it's blow hole is much like when you breath out your nose (don't try making water come out your nose). It depends on what the whale last ate, but if it was krill, the whale probably has krill breath. Remember the whale is not blowing water from it's blow hole. It is just breathing out its blow hole. When close to the surface, this provides the effect of the water blowing up into the air.
