Don't think so but seeds do

I usually pollinate with my fingers just by dabbing the pollen onto my finger right from the plant, and in my opinion it definitely has a smell, subtle but present.

It may not be a good idea to intentionally smell any pollen. It could cause an allergic reaction to occur in some people.
I've seen pollen fly many times while making seeds and never noticed any aroma.
I was going to say, pollen smells like allergies. I don't have allergies, but I did noticed it when I was collecting pollen in the past. I definitely don't want to develope them over time so I'll wear a mask.
I have had pollen w aroma before. From TheRev. From his 3rd generation of his Cindy. It was crazy. Initially assumed the aroma was coming off 2/5 males, but after cutting branches from both of them, letting pollen drop over the following days, then getting rid of branches and drying pollen, the aroma was still there.
