Well the general consensus of anal glands is they smell like very, very rotten fish, but they do smell different to some people. And they are....well part of poop in a round about way so that's certainly not out of the spectrum of possible smells I'd associate with them.
There's one girl in our clinic who says they smell 'sickeningly sweet' so....yah.
Anyhow, if it happens again try putting him outside and see if he has to go to the bathroom.

I didn't think it was possible, but you described them perfectly lol
There are some animals that will express for no good reason. Gavorche will occasionally express his on my parents couch (ONLY when he's sitting in one particular spot, next to my mom...but then again, he also peed on my mom the first time he saw her, so maybe he just has something against her :rofl1: )

Yup, they are none too pleasant at all.
Fun fact about anal glands: it's thought that canids, at one time, could spray the contents of the sacs much like a skunk does. Eventually they lost that ability (thank god) and it just became a marking of territory type of thing, which is why they're expressed during BM. In domestic dogs they're worthless except for smelling up the joint (though technically a good thing for identification of dogs with one another) and getting ruptured.
