ELI5: Why do exceptionally horrible smells like rotten meat tend to linger in my sinuses for hours after the smell has gone?

I'll let someone else give a more lengthy answer but basically that rotten meat smell has a lot of necrotic fat particles that bind to other flesh very easily. So even when you walk away, they have glued themselves in your nasal passages from the moment you smelled them.
