But smell is particles.   They are small, but they are particles.

I ignore recirc except at my job, where I try to make the recirc function 
quieter.   All it does is help the HVAC system to perform better in the 
first few minutes of warmup (winter) or cooldown (summer).

The early HVAC control heads didn't offer nearly as much flexibility as 
the new ones do.   Most cars today allow selection of Recirc any time at all.

The early 5KCSTQ control head doesn't even allow me to choose the airflow 
mode other than Bi-level, and vent and auto.   As long as everything 
works though, it seems to work well, so I leave mine in Auto.
