Oil typically has a distinct, sometimes greasy smell that can vary depending on the type of oil. For example, vegetable oils often have a mild, slightly nutty scent, while motor oil has a stronger, more pungent, and sometimes chemical-like odor. The smell can also be influenced by impurities or additives in the oil. Overall, oil generally has an oily, somewhat earthy aroma.
