WD-40 smells like, well, WD-40.
If it smells like sulphur it may be gear oil, although Im sure anyone making money selling it, will deny it to the end of the world.
That said, if you want a thick chain oil you can just get a SAE 30 or 50 >single grade< motor oil. In contrast to multi grade motor oil it is very viscous at room temperature. Should be available at any auto parts store.
