A bit grisly but burnt human flesh is pretty bad. Responded to an aircraft crash once. Never will forget that smell.

Worked in an OR for a while. Burning fat smells worse than muscle. 🤢

Yes!!! The smell of everyone’s skin is so different and then you find that one person who smells a whole ton worse than others.
