Default The smell of space

I heard an on orbit interview on this from some spacewalkers just in from a
eva a while ago. They seemed to say it smelt like hot things smell and there
was a hint of that smell you get from ionised air. However one assumes the
'smell' being described is in fact the smell given off by the space suits
when they are pulled back in after being outside. How can you have a smell
when there is no atmosphere.
