Gasoline has a strong, pungent smell that is often described as sharp or chemical-like. This distinct odor is due to the presence of volatile organic compounds in gasoline, such as benzene and toluene. These compounds evaporate easily at room temperature, releasing vapors that create the characteristic smell of gasoline. The human nose is sensitive to these compounds, which is why gasoline has a noticeable and recognizable odor.
