Anyone else smell bitter almonds?

I believe that is arsenic.

Just a pic I have seen so far, with him covering his mouth while he was swallowing the poison.

KCN is highly toxic. The moist solid emits small amounts of hydrogen cyanide due to hydrolysis, which smells like bitter almonds. Not everyone, however, can smell this odor: the ability to do so is a genetic trait.

So yeah, potassium cyanide does have a faint bitter almond smell. Arsenic actually smells like garlic when heated in air.
