As others have suggested they sound USED, as perhaps you already
realize. It's heck to clean stink off seals, hard enough to get the
glass clean.

You might try spritzing them with Febreze and then putting them
through the dishwasher, if you're into organic chemistry experiments.

Or return them for clean ones.
