According to my sources both "to smell" and "to feel" are translated "santi". How does one differentiate?

In addition to the context, santi (to feel) will most likely have a pronoun after it.

Mwen pa santi m byen. (check out pronoun 'm' after 'santi)
I don't feel well.

Kouman w santi w? (check out pronoun 'w' after 'santi')
How do you feel?

Li santi fò.
It smells bad.

Soulye a santi.
The shoe smells bad.
