I'm not a pilot, but I do work for a big airplane company. It's exhaust you are smelling. A day out on our flightline, where they are (of course) often running these things, leaves that smell in my schnoz for what seems like days. I'm not a propulsion guy, so maybe one can chime in, but it sure seems like they run rich. Particularly at full power, like on take-off. Reminds me of an MFI car getting goosed hard.
