Question Smell after sparkplug change

I changed my sparkplugs yesterday. After I was done I noticed that when I first start my car with the A/C or fan on I smell a faint exhaust smell that goes away after about a minute. Is this cause for concern? I've never heard of this or had this happen to any other vehicle. Thanks in advance for any help.

It is normal for the engine to run rich until it is fully warmed up.
