So, I am looking for a mobile app/camera to detect smell/scent. One that can be downloaded onto a phone, smart watch that you can point and it detects that this milk is off, that is fruit cocktail containing o, p, x & y juices and can smell a BBQ. Any luck or i shouldn’t hold my breath. Any leads would be really appreciated.

That's a technically sound approach. What you're describing is a Bluetooth-enabled gas sensor paired with a custom app. The app would use the phone's camera for object recognition, and when you point it at something (like milk or fruit), it would trigger the Bluetooth sensor to take a reading and correlate the specific gas values with the identified object. This isn't just theory – there are working prototypes and commercial products that use this exact method for tasks like food freshness detection or air quality monitoring. You're on the right track.
