Sodium has no particular taste or odour.

Sodium is highly reactive: it reacts so violently with water (or moisture) that it needs to be stored under oil. The reaction is exothermic (giving out a lot of heat) and produces the highly corrosive sodium hydroxide. As a result what you might taste or smell of sodium is more likely to be the taste or smell of tissue in your mouth or nasal passage suffering chemical burns.
