There are bends on pipes under the sinks, they are so-called traps, which are designed to prevent odors from appearing in the bathroom. Smells happen when the traps dry out, so you should pour water into the sewer that emits a bad smell to refill the trap and eliminate the smell. There's one more effective deodorizer - white vinegar. It also kills bacteria and helps to get rid of the odor.
