Does sulfur smell like rotten eggs in a solid or liquid form?

Answer 1

Sulfur doesn't smell like rotten eggs. Hydrogen sulfide smells like rotten eggs, but sulfur itself doesn't have much of a smell at all.

Answer 2

Sulfur does not have a smell in its pure solid or liquid form. The characteristic smell of rotten eggs is due to hydrogen sulfide gas, which is released when sulfur compounds decompose.
