Smellancholy 

The great sadness one feels when a food that is in the fridge that smelled great a couple of days ago when it has turned to a not so pleasant smell before you have the chance eat the leftover.

Also applies to food that smelled great at a restaurant, but has now overwhelmed everything and knocks you down every time you open the fridge...
