Well it's not literally like a smell in the sense that I *smell* emotions... it was just the closest I could think of to describe it. I don't feel emotions directly, exactly... sometimes it's hard to tell if something is coming from me or from outside. But it's really more like going through life walking through rolling clouds of scents than anything else. I'd be at an utter loss to describe it otherwise. I think it's probably more a vocabulary issue than much real difference in what goes on. Though Gaia knows there's enough redundancy built in, there could easily be multiple routes to this result (overdeveloped empathy).
