This is an extract from the "QI: The Book of General Ignorance" referring to the question "What does the moon smell like?"
"Like gunpowder, apparently.
Only twelve people have walked on the moon, all of them American. Obviously, in their airtight space suits the astronauts could not actually smell the moon but moon dust is clingy stuff and plenty of it was traipsed back into the cabin when they returned from the moon's surfice. They reported that moon dust feels like snow, smells like gunpowder and doesn't taste too bad.
The idea that the moon was made of cheese seems to date from the 16th century."
There is more about the moon in it but it isn't relivent to the smell of it.
