Am I the only one who finds Parmesan's smell to be absolutely disgusting?

No.
I had a friend a few years ago that didn't like it either.
Has this answered your question?
>>9267657
Yeah because I had risotto with other people a few days ago. I seemed to be the only one reacting negatively to the dish.

No. I don't personally, but it makes sense that some people do.
Two of the major components in Parmesan's smell are butyric acid and isovaleric acid. Those compounds are strong contributors to the smell of vomit and sweaty feet, respectively.
In short, context is everything, except when context means nothing because you can't stop thinking about vomit-filled gym shoes.
