Does Spider-Man's webbing have a distinctive odour?
As mentioned by numerous contributors on Quora (not to forget his character in the MCU, the animated series etc. etc.), Spider-Man made his own webbing using a bunch of chemicals. Although I was not able to find the exact chemical list (that would obviously be impossible!), one of the component that I found was a form of imbibed ester that helped webbing dissolve after an hour.
Speaking about Esters, they do have a distinctive fruity smell. So could it be possible that Spider-Man's webbing too smelled "fruity"?
So does Spider-Man's webbing have actually an odour? I'm open to all forms of answers (comics, Animated series and even the movies)

A possible source for this might be someone tracking Spider-Man through scent, such as Wolverine or Kraven.

It's possible that spider man uses a long-chain ester. which wouldn't smell nearly as much. Though since the purpose of the ester is to help the webbing dissolve i find that unlikely

@Ummdustry well, i'm not sure about the purpose of esters in the webbing either. I just mentioned what i found on the link in Quora.

To the best of my knowledge, instances of people using scent to track Spider-Man haven't ever mentioned using his webbing's scent. As I recall, Kraven (in particular) was more often likely to attract Spidey's attention, rather than actually tracking him (with the possible exception of the "Kraven's Last Hunt" storyline). One expects he would be easier to track as Peter Parker, in which case tracking by web-scent is much less likely.

I (vaguely) remember an episode in the animated series when Kraven is tracking down Spidey and he smells spidey’s webs to track him back to his house. But was it the web-scent or just spidey’s stinky suit, idk 😝

It definitely has an odour, although I couldn't find anything on how it actually smells beyond "weird". The web fluid also goes rancid if unused for a while, and presumably smells foul as a result, although I couldn't find the comic (Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 1 #700) online which says this to provide a picture.
