Ways to get it wrong
Smell vs. Taste
Don't confuse 'oler' (to smell) with 'saber' (to taste), which is a common trap for English speakers.
Hueles vs. Huele
'Hueles' is for 'you smell' (tú form); 'huele' is for 'he/she/it smells' or 'smell!' (usted command).
A small cultural note
Complimenting someone's scent is generally well-received in many Spanish-speaking cultures, especially in romantic or friendly contexts.
