Okay I’m kidding. You should never smell unknown stuff.
You can add bromine water to those two samples respectively. If a white precipitate forms, then it’s phenol. If bromine water decolourises, it’s benzyl alcohol.
You can also add iron (III) chloride solution to those two samples. If the solution turns purple, then it’s phenol. If there’s no change, it’s benzyl alcohol.
