I love & hate Danish! What I hear in this sentence is "day uh den smell" Will my brain ever adjust?
It depends on who owns the thing. If the possessor is a -en word, then it's 'den/dens', if the possessor is a -et word, then it's 'det/dets'. Example: Han spiser hundens mad. Han spiser dens mad. Dens is used because the dog is a -en word. On the other hand, Han spiser dyrets mad. Han spiser dets mad. Dets is used due to dyr being a -et word
