À propos de がする
In Japanese, describing things that can be experienced with the senses (excluding visual), is a little bit different to the way that we would convey it in English. Traditionally, we would use unique verbs for each of these situations, such as 'smells like (A)', 'tastes like (A)', 'feels like (A)', etc. While this is still possible in Japanese, it is not the most common way.
がする is a grammar construction that focuses on the source of the smell, sound, taste, or feeling, and makes the sensory experience itself the subject of the sentence. To use がする, simply attach it to the end of any phrase that expresses which type of 'sense' is being created/given off by the subject.
Fun Fact
Japanese often uses 気 'energy', 'spirit', as something that can be perceived with the senses. Due to this, there are many phrases which use ～気がする in the same way as this grammar point.

@Pushindawood Must just not be very common then because it seems like がする is still often used even when the stimulus is continuous.
I guess if I think about it がしている could almost be acting like a stative verb here. The mats have and always will have a good scent. Perhaps the smell of books or a musty basement would be other cases where がしている could likely be used.
That would explain why even if a room smelled like you burned something for a couple hours (but eventually disappears) it still uses がする. Also why がしている is relatively seemingly uncommon as we tend to communicate sensory perception in the moment.
Thoughts?

I think it would help if this was put into the grammar point. I came here to ask the question, when is it a sensory perception がする and when is it a standard が＋する doing the subject

Hi,
I got this orange message while answering one of the challenge sentences. But isn’t this sentence, ending in 〜ましょう, polite, not casual? (Or is it referring to the ので?)Screenshot_20230704-190535_Fennec_1|495x500
