To my re-collection, anti freeze will have an oder such as camphor. I haven't really had the opportunity to burn anti freeze or the experience of leakage on a hot engine or manifold. Hey, someone may have a better answer or a different type of smell.
Burning antifreeze has a rubber like smell. Some people think it smells sweet with a tint of rubber smell mixed into it.
it's a sweet smell, but it's a nasty smell. it smells like burning coffee and antifreeze. sounds weird but that's pretty much what it smells like
your vehicle may smell like antifreeze while driving because it is overheating
Does it smell like burning antifreeze? Usally it means that the heater-core is going bad. If you do not service it it can be a lot worse. You will end up with Anitfreeze all over you passenger side floor board.
Maple syrup.

Could be a few things. Does it leak antifreeze? if so, fix the part that leaks. If not, you could have coolant mixing with oil inside the engine, which burns it. check your spark plugs.

Probably a lot like burning plastic.
possibly a leaking heater core look for antifreeze dripping into the interior of the vehicle. usually it is the core or hose connected to the heater core.
It should smell a little like burning paper, the same with rayon. If it's polyester, it will melt. Wool will smell like burnt hair.
