I would say that it smells horrific. Or you could say terribly, horrific ist viel, viel schlimmer. Terrific is used more thin the positive sense.

My computer was too slow and I was too impatient. And horrific is spelt with two 'r' and one 'f'!

Well, Karen, looks like you had a lot to say about this. Don't hold back, though! :-)

"Horrible and horrific are both related to horror but the words have different connotations. While horrible can be used to refer to something that is not liked or is disagreeable, horrific is a somewhat stronger adjective used to describe things which upset and frighten by their sheer mention. For example – "A horrible meal" and "A horrific war"."

There's actually nothing wrong with a horrific smell; at least not grammatically or idiomatically.
