Freon itself is a colorless gas and typically does not have a strong odor. However, if there is a leak in a system using Freon, it may produce a faint, sweet smell that some people might notice. This odor is often compared to that of chloroform or other chemical solvents. If you detect a strong smell associated with Freon, it's important to address the leak promptly, as it can be harmful to health and the environment.
