Why does vacuuming have a distinct smell that you can’t get anywhere else other than a vacuum?

If it was just the smell of dirt and dust why don’t we smell that other times? And if it’s the machine, no other machine makes that exact smell. What isssss ittttt
And don’t tell me it’s because it needs to be cleaned. Even a new or well taken care of vacuum has [u]the smell [/u]

It’s the heat of the vacuum

@DisturbOne but lots of other appliances create heat, but none smell like a vacuum
