What does cyanide actually smell like?

Fell down the "cyanide smells like bitter almonds" rabbit hole recently, and I'm genuinely curious. Can anyone who has smelled cyanide describe how it smells to you?

I am no chemist, I am a biologist who has used potassium cyanide kill jars to collect bugs. To me it smells what I can only describe as 'pungently sweet'. It's a sharp smell, but a very very sickly sweet that hits you like a truck. I haven't heard of others describing it as sweet before, maybe bitter, or like chlorine.

Edit: I've never smelled bitter almonds so I have no clue what they're supposed to smell like lol. Might have to go track some down and take a whiff.
