The strange smells are described as “coppery smells”, which probably refers to all the blood.

(Of course, the hemoglobin in blood contains iron, rather than copper, but “irony smells” would not be a great choice of words, I suppose …)

Blood smells like copper to me.

This appears to be because copper and iron both "smell" like blood.
