There must be a gas leak. Contact your gas supplier IMMEDIATELY, if the smell is in a house. If it is in a car, have your mechanic check for a leak.

Propane itself is a single compound, but the gas inside a consumer propane tank is a mixture of propane and an oderant (smelly compound) such as ethanethiol or thiophene so you can smell when there's a leak or the gas has been left on.

Odor masking agents can be added to help reduce the smell of ethyl mercaptan. Additionally, ensuring proper ventilation and containment of the gas can help control the odor. Regular maintenance of equipment and storage tanks can also prevent leaks and minimize odor issues.

Yes. But circumstances may not let you smell it. See related link. Not all propane has ethyl mercaptan added to it for the smell. A great deal of propane is used as a propellant in aerosols and is odor free as it is in its natural state.
