As a ferret owner of 10 years i can testify that the scent's during increased adrenalin rushes have definite social meanings eg: excitement,fear,curiousity,anger,affection,panic,pain. But basicaly when you smell something you get an idea of what it tastes like well would want to eat something that smells putrid. Believe me it is absolutely foul and it lingers.
