If your substance is in a beaker or test tube, it is always important to fan the odour towards your nose with your hands. If you place your nose directly on the lip of the test tube or beaker and inhale, it is possible that you will harm yourself, due to most chemicals being hazardous when inhaled.

It is dangerous to smell chemicals because some chemicals are hazardous to health at concentrations lower than those you can smell. In addition, the label may be wrong, or missing, so you may be smelling something more hazardous than you thought.
