If vinegar smells sweet, either it has been mixed with something in sufficient quantity to mask the acidic smell, or more likely, the container in which the vinegar is in, actually contains something else than vinegar. It does not have a breakdown product that smells good, so most likely it is not vinegar; unless perhaps it is an expensive Balsamic.
