What a great question! Each intake charge has hydrocarbons from the fuel and oxygen from the atmosphere. As the charge burns, the unburned hydrocarbons (and there are always some) exit the exhaust. The difference in the ratio is the difference you smell.

Some old-timers can tune diesels and even gas engines by smell. I've seen them do it. My smeller ain't what it used to be but when I was a kid I could rough tune a gas engine with my nose.
