I can answer this. While I was researching propane safety I found this:
"Propane, or LP gas, has no odor in its natural state. A strong-smelling substance called ethyl mercaptan is added to propane to warn consumers of a leak." (Source from link below)
BUT that odor can fade and has been thought to be the cause of many severe propane leak accidents. Read about it
here.
