Sponges, by themselves, generally do not have any smell at all. Most live in quiet, clear waters, because sediment stirred up by waves or currents would block their pores, making it difficult for them to feed and breathe. Hence, due to their stagnant habitat, they often develop a peculiar, putrid odour.
