Olfaction descriptions of death

[Medicine And Health]

I’m writing a book about vampires, and shockingly my protagonists encounter a lot of death and blood.

Has anyone written about the smell of blood or death (fresh and old), or anyone in the medical profession that might know?

I’m sure I could imagine, but don’t want to make assumptions, and would be good to get a real account.

Thanks!
