"Suffocation and exposure in the negative 200 degrees Celsius [minus 328 degrees Fahrenheit] atmosphere, made of mostly hydrogen, helium, and methane, would take its toll long before the smell."

Well, f'Petessake, nobody does interstellar exploration without a jacket.

Good luck on the journey from earth, which will take at least nine years according to Voyager.

If you can survive that, and those insanely cold temps, you might have about a half-second to whiff the atmosphere.

If you survived the descent into Uranus' dense clouds, and not get crushed by the pressure.

But I have read that said pressure makes for lakes of pure diamond.

So Uranus MAY smell like a$$, but you'll be rich. Which is nice.
