This is a little tough. Oler tends to mean "to produce a scent" as in "the rose smells." If something stinks, use the regular -ar verb "apestar." If you are saying that someone detects a scent say that they sentir o notar el olor de_____ For example "Siento el olor de rosas." I sense the smell of roses..or..I smell roses.

Oler both means to perceive a certain smell and to give off a scent, depending on context. - Deanski, Apr 21, 2011
Same as in English, then, right? - lazarus1907, Apr 21, 2011
