Narrative:
About 100 miles west of ZZZZ enroute at FL390; a distinct electrical smell became noticeable in the cockpit and in the cabin as far back as the 2L door. Since the pilots and the flight attendants were unable to locate the origin; the captain declared an emergency and we landed uneventfully in ZZZZ.
