Unpleasant-smelling (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

acrid

(Other definitions for acrid that I've seen before include "Unpleasantly strong-smelling" , "Having a bitter taste or small, like smoke" , "Nastily pungent" , "Bitter in smell, like smoke" , "Unpleasantly pungent" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal and the USA Today.
