Everything he touches has the effluvium of a billy-goat.

You are a stinkard with breath that comes straight from Satan's bottom.

Smells like kippers and tastes as though strained through a chap's pipe.

The detective has an instinct for his work like a dog trained to react to the scent of death.

The allure of a lorry driver's sock.

Visitors, like fish, stink after three days.

Smelt like the trapped air of a fat man's duvet in the morning.

Very man-made, like the breath of a new fleet car.

Hatred — for one disengaged from it — is a like the odour of garlic for someone who hasn't eaten any.

There is something about poverty that smells like death. Dead dreams dropping off the heart like leaves in a dry season and rotting around the feet.

Looks stylish but smells fiendish, like the vast open sewer of Venice.

The past is the only dead thing that smells sweet.

When I opened my son's sock drawer, it smelt like the discovery of the 'Piltdown Man'.

She is rotting quietly under her skirts with a melancholy smile, like the smell of violets which is sometimes given off by decomposing bodies
