Presumably, to attract insects that normally feed on dead animals ("carrion"). Carrion-loving insects include many species of flies, carrion beetles, and wasps. While in the flower, the insects carry pollen from one plant to another, pollinating the flowers. Competition for pollinators is great in the tropics due to very high diversity. By utilizing a group of insects not usually associated with pollination, for example, bees, the plant taps into another pool of pollen movers.

Most often, bad breath is caused by dental or periodontal disease. Some dogs do not adequately chew their food; thus they don't clean their teeth naturally by the chewing process.

The most common natural reasons for Florida’s water to smell unpleasant is because of the surrounding environment.

Under certain circumstances, the human nose may also identify the presence of contaminants from spills, such as gasoline, or extreme bacteriological activity.

Bacteria that live in the bowels and produce fecal smells, have cousins that have similar metabolic pathways, that live in the mouth. So mouth bacteria can cause fecal smells.

long as your compost has enough airflow so that it remains aerobic, there may be some odor but it shouldn't be objectionable. If you do get foul-smelling odors, you should add more wood chips or other bulking agent, and mix the system to reaerate it.
