At times, when a character enters a good or holy area, they'll find that it smells spectacularly pleasant. It usually smells of pleasant perfumes, incense, flowers, and maybe delicious food, and grows more powerful as a visitor comes in contact. Another variant is a good or virtuous being carrying a pleasant aroma with it when it appears. Frequently one of the Goodness Tropes. This trope stems from the fact that good and sanctified things smell wonderfully pleasant, so if somewhere or something smells good, it's probably benevolent. After all, as the saying goes: "Cleanliness is next to Godliness". Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })However there are inversions of the trope where a character that smells good might be an excessive extreme of good aka Knight Templar or even The Vamp willingly trying to invoke the trope to fool others. Could play into the notion that a good character is one that Smells Sexy which naturally appeals to others, even if the end result is not true. If unsettling in context, the trope can veer into Creepy Cleanliness. Contrast this with Evil Smells Bad as a direct opposite of the trope and with Uncleanliness Is Next to Ungodliness, where the stench is just a character's poor hygiene. |

In Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman is described by Lois Lane in a tell-all interview as not wearing perfume or makeup, yet still permanently smelling of an impossible fusion of sweet white grapes, olive oil, and sculpted bronze, which gives her a perpetually enchanting allure on top of her other amazing qualities. | |

In Angels and Demons, a Papal Guard's security team is about to enter the catacombs beneath St. Peter's Basilica. The entrance to the catacombs - where the Popes of old are buried essentially making it the Holy Ground of the Vatican - is flanked by votive candles and incense burners which are loaded with Butane, making it smell nice while lethal to any trespasser. As one of the guards wryly puts it "Smells Like Heaven, Burns Like Hell." | |

In the Sin City arc of The Hard Goodbye, Marv's monologue referring to Goldie states "She smells like angels ought to smell, the perfect woman... the Goddess", notable as Goldie is one of the only characters who treats Marv kindly as a Hooker with a Heart of Gold. This smell is later on brought up again when he meets Goldie's twin sister, who also proves to be benevolent if much more ruthless than her sister. | |

Lotso of Toy Story 3 is a strong inversion in that he's known to smell of strawberries and puts on a kindly mentor front, but he's actually a cruel and ruthless tyrant keeping toys as prisoners to be abused indefinitely by children and his cronies. | |

In Changeling: The Lost, an incidental effect of joining the Knights of the Knowledge of the Tongue order is that the scent of food always follows the changeling. What kind of food depends on the observer's opinion of the changeling: someone who likes them will smell food they love, and an enemy will smell things like sprouts or raw meat. | |
