Since I have never put my nose in one I really don't know, but I would think they wouldn't. The reason I say this is because the body parts put in them were prepared for the jar and they are so old and dried out that any smell they would have had wouldn't be there now. There could be a musty scent, but the people who handle this type of thing are very careful because of the age and there may also be bacteria in the jar that could hurt the researcher. I have seen many ancient artifacts in museums around the world and never "picked" up a scent from any item.
