Which phrasing is correct?

Hello all,

Just wondering which of these sentences is correct:

- Wincing from the smell of the rotten fish I cupped my hand to my mouth in disgust.

or is it..

- Wincing with the smell ...

or is it..

- Wincing at the smell ...

Thanking you all in advance.

Maria.

Hi, 'at' is the most common. 'from' is OK. 'with' does not sound quite right to me.
