The rank smell that comes from a septum piercing that most people with a septum ring have experienced at one time or another. The smell differs amongst the individual. However, a common description for the scent is "roadkill and ass". It comes from the mixture of dead skin cells, nose-goo, and the fact that it's the inside of your nose with a new hole in it.

It can usually be solved with simple cleaning tactics.
I thought the gargabe needed to be taken out, but it was just a severe case of septum funk.
