B) Thompsons heavy cologne
C) The Narrators dead friend in the coffin

The foul odor that caused the narrator and Thompson to flee into the cold is the Limburger Cheese. Of course they thought it was the rotting corpse but the pine box did not contain a dead body, instead inside were a bunch of guns.
