Why is it you can smell sulphur but you can’t smell nitrogen or oxygen?

And why does the air around some hot appliances have a distinctive odour. I can smell that my clothes iron is hot.

You know that smell gas has? They put that in.
You see the gas is odorless but they add the smell so that you know when there’s a leak.
