Aircraft
Flight crew smelled significant burning smell in the flight deck descending out of FL220 on descent into ZZZ.  Flight crew detected burning via smell. Smell was extremely strong and smelled electrical. Flight crew [was unsure of the cause]; immediately followed smoke fumes memory items. Donned masks and established communications. Crew then followed QRH and notified ATC of condition and [requested priority handling]. Flight crew descended to make landing safely in ZZZ without further incident. Through 10k feet crew assessed that masks were no longer needed as fumes had dissipated. Flight crew added difficult and different communicating via 02 masks in flight than in sims. Suggest more realistic training methods.
