Yes, most of smells come from esters which can be derived from carboxylic acids, but they also come from adlehydes, ketones, alcohols, and terpenes. These smells get stronger with the greater amount of carbons in a chain or ring. Low molecular weight esters give fruits their odors and flavors while carboxylic acids have a more acrid and repellent stench. All of this is organic chemistry.
