Hi Gatsby,
Cacophony implies a simultaneous or sequential combination of sounds which is definitely resented as displeasing. Your description of the office at noon doesn't imply irritation. Furthermore, the nose perceives one smell at a time, even if it results from a combination of agents. This is probably why we are limited to the scale extending from stench to perfume.
