I don't notice it outright, probably because I'm breathing in the stuff, usually sitting in a giant cloud of vapor when I'm at the computer...

But yesterday my boyfriend came home and walked to my room, and said "Been eating peanut butter cups?"

I just giggled and said no.. It was my fantastic Reese's Peanut Butter Cup e-juice. And he saw the look on my face and said "OH it's your e-vape!"

*giggle* He said my caramel apple e-juice makes my skin smell like cotton candy!

Not that he minds, he says its so much better than me smelling like smoke. But yeah, it definitely has a smell. His sense of smell isn't all that great either, due to sinus issues/surgeries.
 
I do notice a smell from a few different flavors. It doesn't linger long and its normally gone when the vapors gone. Clove did seems to leave some smell that lingered for a little. all the tobacco flavors leave kind of a caramel like smell.

I have noticed a few like that! The first bottle of tobacco flavor I received was America Tobacco from Premium Electronic Cigarette Kits, Juice + Supplies at the time I didn't have my vaporizer yet so I was opening the bottles to smell. The only thing I could smell was a very very strong Hazelnut smell it was like it infused into the air because you could taste it by the smell.

One would think that with a smell like that it would taste like through and through like Hazelnut. However, when I received my GLV2 and started vaping it the only thing I could come up with to describe the flavor was a cross between a Marlboro and a Camel with a "slight" hint of hazelnut as an after taste.

Back to your thought it is surprising how many I have tried "maybe three or four I am still new to vaping" that have these same nutty sweet / caramel taste.

I've noted the stronger the flavor the more likely it is to leave a lingering aroma. I also suspect that some juices are made with higher doses of flavor oils instead of distilled extracts so they would naturally leave behind a potpourri effect. I got a vanilla juice that was so overpowering I couldn't vape it but if I leave it open it fills the room with a lovely scent.

Sure - small is what most of the flavor is. Your tongue can only taste combinations of 5 simple flavors - sweet, salty, bitter, sour and savory. Everything else is aroma combined with those simple tongue sensations. I can smell a juice more when I switch to or earlier in the day. In the beginning I really noticed the cocoa aroma of Backwoods Brew Casablanca but since I vape is all day every day I've gotten used to it and don't smell it as much.
