Well, the title is wrong. Few languages have.

The point is that in most languages in order to describe smell we have to 
use words used for other senses.
pe'i this is not fair.
.e'u we create new words for smells in Lojban. 
.e'u they don't borrow roots from other arbitrary words like English 
classification does.

This is what Wikipedia says about odors.

It has been proposed that there are seven primary odors: (with examples)

   1. Musky <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musk>- perfumes/aftershave
   2. Putrid <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Putrid>- rotten eggs
   3. Pungent <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pungent>- vinegar
   4. Camphoraceous <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camphoraceous>- mothballs
   5. Ethereal <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_oil>- dry cleaning 
   fluid
   6. Floral <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floral>- roses
   7. Pepperminty <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peppermint>- mint gum
