If there's a speed of sound and a speed of light is there a speed of smell? Can you interpret a smell the same as light and speed?

Intriguing thought! However since I can't see a smell, I don't think it exists! (Nah! just kidding!)

A very good question! Yes there is a speed of sound. Sound travels at 760 miles per hour. Light speed travels at 299,792,458 meters per second. Smell always travels faster than you can get downwind. Just be thankful your nose is 1000 times less sensitive than your dogs. I often wonder how a dog can smell everything with his very remarkable sniffer, and not get sick to his stomach.
