Curious question: does your period have a strong smell?

Hey guys do you have a smell on your period? And i don’t mean a fishy odor because usually that’s caused by infection, but i mean i can’t really explain it but a strong bloody smell? Lol i feel like a shark would smell it miles away... no one else can smell it but to me it’s strong especially when I’m heavy. A friend of mine told me that her and her bf have sex during her period and I’m like 👀how can you even get past the smell to be comfortable to do that?!
