What does Space smell like?

When astronauts return from space walks and remove their helmets, they are welcomed back with a peculiar smell. An odor that is distinct and weird: something, astronauts have described it, like "seared steak." And also: "hot metal." And also: "welding fumes."

This basically describes the types smells on earth. Does this mean that space is odorless.

Ofcourse the astronauts can't smell space since there is no availability of Oxygen or water

space contains particles of exploded stars, meteorites and asteroids, so it is not surprising that metal particles fall from space along with the astronaut's suit on Board the spacecraft.
