The Smell of Curry

One day, I took the elevator to the restaurant area on the upper floor of the building.
There was a couple in the elevator first.
When the elevator started to go up a woman said “I felt smell or curry so much,”” and other man said “Sure, I smell of curry too.”
I thought, “I couldn’t smell anything but there might be a curry restaurant in the building and they might smell it.”
At that time I ate spaghetti or something and then went home.
When I took off my coat, I remembered the couple talking about the smell of curry, then I stuck my face into my coat and smelled it.
Then I felt smell or curry from the coat.
It smelled like it was covered in curry powder.
Oh no, that was me! I was so embarrassed.
However I don’t know why the coat smells like this.


カレーの匂い

ある日、私はビルの上階にあるレストラン街に向かうため、エレベーターに乗った。
そのエレベーターには、先にカップルが乗っていた。
エレベーターが上昇を始めたときに、女性の方が「すごくカレーの匂いがするね」と言った。男性も「確かにカレーの匂いがするね」と言った。
私は、(何も匂わないけど、レストラン街にはカレー屋さんもあるだろうから、その匂いがしているんだろう)と思った。
その日は、スパゲティか何かを食べてから帰った。
そして、家に帰ってコートを脱いてから、ふと「カレーの匂い」の話を思い出して、コートに顔を突っ込んで臭ってみた。
カレーの匂いがしたw まるでカレー粉をかぶったような匂いがする。
やば。あれ私のことだったのか。恥ずかしい〜。と一人で悶えた。
でもなぜこんな匂いがするか分からない。

Yours is correct, but if you want to emphasize a very strong curry smell you can add "completely" 😂

Oh no, that was me!

I was so embarrassed.

What a funny story! You wrote very well.
Maybe when the jacket was hung up somewhere, a nearby jacket smelled like curry and it transferred. It happens! 😂

I changed "At that time" to "That day" because "at that time" would mean you ate spaghetti in the elevator. 😊
