Of course. I thought everyone did this.
I don't consider it a good or bad smell. It doesn't smell like anything I'd want to drink, but then again, the smell of beer fermenting through an airlock filled with vodka or Starsan smells nothing remotely like a finished beer poured into a glass.
There have been a few times where the fermentation was ridiculously active and the entire room stunk of C02, yeast, and so on. It was one of the only times my wife (at the time my fiancee) ever complained about anything related to my "hobby." But opening all the windows got rid of the smell within an hour or two.
But, yep, I smell the airlock at least once a day.
