exhaust smell

Ok,

Now I'm looking for some feed back.
On my 95 Sunfire, 2.2 OHV (oh stop laughing!) When I stop and the car's exhaust catches up so you can smell it, it smells Rich, very rich.

The motor was recently 100% rebuilt with just about everything mechanical new. New wires, plugs, thermostat, etc. as well.
It runs great, starts right off, runs strong.
Passed NJ Emission tests (not an insignificant accomplishment) yet smells rich to me.
I put in a New O2 sensor just for fun, Same smells. I didn't mind the expense, the old one looked to be original and was mighty burned up at the sensor end.

Maybe I'm crazy ? Just smelling things, Any ideas or feedback?

No codes, no lights.

If it passed emissions, including a tailpipe test whatever that's actually called, has no errors, runs great and gas mileage is normal.....perhaps it's just your nose?
