Distinct sulfur-like odor deliberately added to otherwise odorless fuel gas.
First distinction
Note where the odor is strongest, whether it appears with rain, wind, heating, plumbing or ventilation, and whether closing a door changes it.
Do not mask the pattern
Fragrance can make the pathway harder to identify. Record timing before cleaning or moving stored material.
Next useful step
Treat this as a safety signal. Stop normal investigation and follow the applicable emergency or professional guidance.
