For human beings, smell is the sense most directly linked to the brain, and the one that most quickly evokes memory. Therefore, it's no surprise that many characters in fiction are described as having a smell that instantly identifies them. An ex-lover may always carry the memory of her favorite perfume or his cologne, or a particularly strange character may have an equally strange, but distinct, smell to match. Another common usage is for a monster to be preceded by a certain smell, warning the heroes to its presence. This comes up often in works featuring characters who have an enhanced sense of smell or in works with animals, since most animals rely more heavily on their sense of smell than humans do. If there's non-humans involved, expect the humans be told that they stink. May overlap with Evil Smells Bad when the character is a villain. |

The episode "Weak" from Law & Order: Special Victims Unit has a Serial Rapist described by all his victims as smelling like an ashtray.

In The Land of What Might-Have-Been, enormous industrialist Rostov Branderstove is said to smell very strongly of tarnished metal and old paper — in other words, the smell of money. He also likes to wear ambergris perfume, another nod to his wealth. In the present-day segments, Branderstove has been transformed into a monstrous octopus hybrid known as the Leviathan, and now smells of salt water and "busy fishmarkets"... but Elphaba soon recognizes that he still has that distinctive whiff of ambergris. | |

"The school's resident weird girl", Marcie Fleach from Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, is nicknamed Hot Dog Water by her peers because that's what she smells like. In her first appearance, Freddie explains the smell as resulting from a chemical reaction involving sweat and gingham; later, we find out that her father owns an amusement park and reuses the hot dog water for bathing. In Season 2, it becomes a plot point when Velma recognizes the smell and identifies a disguised Marcie. | |

Comes up in Discworld: Captain Carrot constantly smells of armor polish and soap, to highlight his pureness. Corporal Nobbs, on the other hand, has a very strange bouquet described as a mix of cigarettes, skin cream, and old cabbage, that is instantly unforgettable to anyone who encounters it. Beggar Foul Ole Ron has a Smell that is so strange it's developed its own separate identity and sometimes goes to parties on its own. It's so bad that it can't be perceived; noses shut down in self-defense the moment they detect it. The Smell's presence is instead signified by nearby brass tarnishing and peoples' earwax liquefying. Mr. Groat from the Post Office — a devout believer in such odd "home remedies" as putting sulfur in his socks and using a goose-grease poultice — smells vaguely chemical, with the eye-stinging aroma of throat medicine and a hint of old potatoes. Ahmed chews on cloves while in Ankh-Morpork, giving him a signature scent. |

In the "The Adventure of the Nutmeg Concoction" episode of Elementary, a faint smell of nutmeg is detected at a number of crime scenes, leading an FBI profiler to insist it's the "olfactory signature" of a Serial Killer. Sherlock takes one look at the file and says that the crimes have too little in common to be a serial killer; the agent in question is letting his desperation to be a hero cloud his judgement. There is a connection between the crime scenes, but the scent is left by the criminal who makes a living cleaning up crime scenes using a strong chemical that smells faintly of nutmeg, rather than by the perpetrators of the original crime. | |

According to Big Finish Doctor Who's Spare Parts, Cybermen have always reeked of antiseptic from the surgeries that led to their Unwilling Roboticisation. Meanwhile, the werewolves in Loups Garoux notice that the Fifth Doctor smells distinctively of celery from the bunch in his lapel. Turlough, having blown the last of his money on an extremely manky burger, is identified by the smell of cooked goat — resulting in several of the werewolves mockingly referring to him as "Goat Chop" or "Goat Boy". |

Dungeons & Dragons: the most famous of the game's many, many dragons have very particular odors, pleasant ones in the case of the good-aligned metallic dragons, and harsh or nasty smells for the evil chromatic dragons. Brass dragons have a sandy odor, bronze dragons smell of sea spray, copper dragons have a stony scent, gold dragons smell of saffron and incense, and silver dragons carry the scent of rain. Black dragons stink of rot and foul water, blue dragons smell of ozone and sand, green dragons have the stinging scent of chlorine, red dragons smell of sulfur and pumice, and white dragons have a crisp, faintly chemical odor. | |

This smell is later on brought up again when he meets Goldie's twin sister. The Yellow Bastard reeks rather nasty, Hartigan pointing out the horrible smell multiple times when the Bastard is near. |

Girl Genius: The heroine has a pleasant scent, which is used as the subject of a Running Gag by most of the characters, to the point that she considers using lab chemicals to alter it and avoid the "nice smell" comments. Her smell is also typical of the Heterodyne bloodline, allowing Jägermonsters to identify her. Agatha has her body chemistry tangled up when the author of a Grand Theft Me keeps herself awake with stimulants... lots of them. This is detected by Krosp (Emperor of cats), who points out that her scent is messed up. The Wasp Eaters detect wasps via smell (even though they are animal constructs, they are trained to react to it). The Weasels react to Tarvek's smell, too — they love it, which leads to a lot of Weasels hugging him. When Agatha's body chemistry is altered again, this time in a Poison and Cure Gambit, Krosp is also the first to notice it. |

In one 6teen episode called "Baby, You Stink", the boys of the main six decide to have a contest to see who of them smells the best after a week of not bathing of any kind, with the girls acting as the judges. It got way out of hand, with the boys stinking so bad that Jen said, "At this point it's not about who smells the best anymore — it's about who smells the least horrible." When the day of the actual judging came, the rules that the girls laid out were that whichever guy made it closest to them without being yelled at to stop would be declared the winner. In the order the boys went, the results were: Wyatt: Made it about two-thirds of the way towards the girls, which Wyatt was happy about, because he was worried that he'd end up smelling the worst — he almost dropped out of the contest, but ultimately stayed after his then-girlfriend, Marlowe, assured him that she was fine with it and even pointed out how many of the world's top musicians and celebrities don't bathe frequently. Jonesy: Being who he is, Jonesy was very confident that he'd smell the best after a week a not bathing — but he actually ended smelling the worst out of the three boys. In fact, he didn't even make it more than two steps towards the girls and Nikki was so nauseated that she actually vomited on the food court floor of the mall. On top of all that, he also got fired from his latest job at a florist shop because his rank BO killed all the flowers at the shop. Jude: He made it all the way without complaint from the girls. Caitlin noted that Jude didn't smell any differently than he normally did, with Nikki adding, "Jude never bathed much to begin with — he's always had a faint, lingering odor." As a result, Jude was declared the winner. |

In Anastasia, Dowager Empress Marie dabs peppermint oil on her opera gloves. The scent triggers a memory in orphan Anya of spilling peppermint oil on the palace carpet. No matter how much servants scrubbed that spot, it continued to smell of peppermint. This statement convinces Empress Marie that Anya is, in fact, her long-lost granddaughter Princess Anastasia. | |

Ciaphas Cain's aide Ferik Jurgen has a very persistent and unique case of BO (he's an iceworlder, so balmy temperatures make him sweat, but even in the cold he stinks) exacerbated by various skin diseases that allows Cain to know he's there even with his back turned. It's also hinted that part of this "smell" is of psychic nature, a sense of unease due to him being The Soulless that people rationalize as bad odor. | |

In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Geralt's search for Yennefer makes repeated mention of her distinctive scent of lilac and gooseberries. Witchers (who have Super-Senses) can tell a letter was written by her because of it, and even normal humans are able to detect it if they meet her in person. Since it's mentioned in a ballad about her, she's apparently quite well known for it. | |

Zexion of Kingdom Hearts has the odd ability of smelling darkness, although what said odor is like is never described. In Chain of Memories, he briefly mistakes Riku's scent when he appears in the basement of Castle Oblivion for that of the Superior of Organization XIII. This is important because within Riku's darkness lies the lingering presence of "Ansem, Seeker of Darkness", the first game's Big Bad and the Heartless of Xehanort. The leader of Organization XIII Zexion alludes to is Xemnas, Xehanort's Nobody, which explains the momentary confusion. | |

The third Julie of the Wolves book is from the point of view of the wolves. They always recognize Julie because her scent reminds them of willows. It also mentions that before Julie came up with her own names for the wolves, they had given each other "names" in their own minds to identify them, and they had thought of Silver as "Saxifrage" for the scented plants she liked to roll in. | |

In The Uninvited (1944), the manifestation of the benevolent ghost is always accompanied by the scent of mimosa blossoms. This serves as both a red-herring and a plot point when it comes to determining the ghost's identity, since one character's dead mother always wore mimosa-scented perfume. | |
