Cesium (Cs) itself does not have an odor, but if you smell something odd, it may be from the mineral oil that it's been stored in.

Cesium is the most electropositive of all metals and must be stored under oil, because if it comes in contact with water or moist air, it ignites spontaneously with a reddish-violet flame.
