No smell with my Chinese & I've found the opposite with my Russians, like syrians it's only females that I've noticed a smell with but I think it varies a lot from one ham to another.

Air purifiers are as Serendipity says a bit of a minefield! You really need to do your research as a goos one is quite an investment, cheaper ones are often very noisy & don't function as well as the more expensive ones.
