Why does salt seemingly have no smell compared to its intense flavour?

Most other seasonings have a more noticeable odour. Why is this?

Salt is an ionic lattice of sodium and chloride ions. They are strongly bound to each other and stay as a solid. The chemical term for substances that can easily become a vapour is volatility and because of the lattice energy that hold the sodium and chloride ions together salt has a very very low volatility. This means that no salt becomes airborne and hits your nose, hence no smell. 
As others have mentioned taste and smell make up flavour salt tastes very strong but has little smell.
