Since taking off your helmet is a really bad idea in space I’m not sure how you determine the smell… It’s a Schrödinger’s aroma… I’m going with it smelling like chocolate. I like the smell of chocolate, and nobody’s gonna prove me wrong.
The “smell of space” is the “smell of spacecraft”, which contain a wide variety of volatile compounds. Most likely the burnt metal smell is from thruster combustion residue. Space has no smell, no air, no rest stops.
Odors don’t travel through vacuums. But if one COULD analyze the chemistry of clouds of molecules floating through space, they could have such smells, conceivably.

Sam & Max: Bad Day on the Moon
Sam: “I think I’m having some trouble figuring out how to find the moonies or moonites or whatever the hell they’re called.”
Max: “Take that dippy bag off your head and let’s follow these highway signs.”
Sam: “So let me get this straight. We can breathe here then?”
Max: “I guess those candy-butt astronauts didn’t have the stones to try it.”
Sam: “I could never say that about an astronaut.”

Hey, someone had to try it.

I’m hoping that they’ll detect isoamyl acetate around some distant body in outer space . A planet with that odor might be a nice place to visit.

…and Pam hardly looks startled or surprised in the last panel. She’s seen Brewster do such dumb things before.

Nothing in outer space, i.e. the space between heavenly bodies, exists in sufficient concentration to be detected by the sense of smell.

That helmet must be like a Scope bottle. You know, put on, twist, and it seals.

If they cleaned up some of those infinite galaxies, maybe their space wouldn’t smell so much.

The Secret Revealed — Brewster Rockit is really Superman!
Either that, or this is showing us a super power he developed as a result of the many alien probings that also caused him to become super-stupid.
