Can people really "Smell fear?" It is said almost all the time.

Dogs can

i dont knoow about people but dogs can smell fear

No unless you smash the fear (in this case shaking) and smash if in your nose

Hmm.. It really depends, it's a phrase that is said to a person, mostly to those who dont hide fear very much, so 'smelling' instead of 'seeing' seems to kinda freak someone out even more, but, those who study the body language of a person can also sense any emotion in that said person. But the reason that it matters is because some people release a scent, weather it could be sweat to really bad breath. People sweat when they're nervous, so it can also work on fear, so bad breath See More works the same. Hope it helped ;)

Yes. I can smell fear coz when my sis is scared her face is normal but I can SMELL she is scared

No, but you can tell when somebody is scared by their body language

Yessssss... people can. everyone has fear that overpowers the spirit and rules the body...such a horrible stench.

Not smell (smell is used as an expression for sense) but yes i can sense fear

no but they can sense by the way you move or speak

yeah, he's right

No they just say that to be cool...

No they say that because they see your fear

No. It`s impossible

Fear is an abstract noun- you can't see it touch it taste it hear it and you indeed cannot smell it
