I can t smell christmas trees?

Not all Christmas trees are pines. So they don't all smell like pine air fresheners

Not gonna lie i had a good laugh on this one but just because its a out there question. Alright so basing a smell off something fake like pine air fresheners not the best approach. And earthy rotting vegetable I could actually accept as a description of pine having hiked through quite a number of pine forests but it would be the early stages of rot not late stages which smell entirely different. However I don't think its so much you being different its just your brain has wired the smell differently than other people. Typically when you smell something small particles of the smell reach your nose and bind to receptors and send a signal to your brain which processes it into what you know as a smell. ( very basic description from the old magic school bus tv show for ease of explaining.) So in other words its how your brain has associated the smell. However this can change over time as your brain changes or your exposed to the smells on a more regular basis or say you come across some composting veg that smells horrible that might change how you compare the smells in the future.
