“臭におい(nioi) and 匂におい(nio)” means “Smell” and which has been used as the meaning of “the characteristic of something that can be recognized or noticed using the nose”. The tips for using them are that “臭におい” is ONLY used for “BAD SMELL”, whereas “匂におい” is used for “BOTH GOOD AND BAD SMELL”. Although you would be able to say “変へんな臭においがする。(It smells bad.)” and “変へんな匂においがする。(It smells bad.)”, “変へんな臭においがする。(It smells bad.)” is used as “MORE BAD SMELL”. Additionally, you would be able to read both “臭におい” and “臭くさい(It stinks.)”. The basic ways to use them are that “___は良いい/変へんな匂においがする。(___ smell good/bad.)” and “___は変へんな臭においがする。(___ smell bad.)”, “___の匂におい(a scent of ___)”, “___の臭におい(a scent of ___)” etc. For instance, “これは良いい匂においがする。(This smells good.)”, “これは変へんな臭においがする。(This smells bad.)”, “にんにくの匂におい(the smell of garlic)” and “これは変へんな匂においがする。(This smells bad.)”, “タバコの臭におい(cigarette smell)”, etc. Everyone could use “臭におい” and “匂におい” as casual, polite and formal such as “変へんな臭においがする。(It smells bad.)” and “良いい匂においがするね。(It smells good.)” as casual and “変へんな臭においがします。(It smells bad.)” and “良いい匂においがします。(It smells good.)” as polite and formal.
