Greetings,

Hands down, meteorites are cold when they land :-)

Apollo Astronauts reported the smell of gun powder from the moon dust. 
Perhaps many bodies in the solar system have that smell. Falling 
through the atmosphere should remove the regolith though, except where 
it is cemented in from past impacts and part of the interior of an 
meteoroid.
