No, but I think I know what you might be smelling. There are two types of refrigerant used by automotive manufactures. The "old" style R-12, known by the brand name, "Freon." This is a completely non-flamable gas, that has no smell whatsoever. Then there is the "new style" R-134a , tetraflouroethane refrigerant, that is also non-flamable. R-134a has a strong, unique odor, that does not smell at all like propane. However, there are some substitute refrigerants on the market that do contain propane, butane, and all kinds of other explosive substances. I have always been concerned about these refrigerants. I have even seen one picture of a system that was literally blown to pieces by the use of these explosive substances in automotive refrigerant systems. As far as I know, no automotive manufacturer approves of the use of these substitute refrigerants, so if you suspect there may be one of these propane based substitute refrigerants in your system, take your car to a qualified repair facility and see what they recommend be done. freon can resmble smell of of propane all gas has an added scent so it can be smeeled in the event of a leak depending on manufacture, depends what the gas smells like
