Nicely done! :) Odoriferous is actually a word in my somewhat frequent vocabulary, and I generally use it to describe foul smells, so I especially enjoyed, "It's the wonder in knowing that sometimes you can be the stinkiest, nastiest, almost vomit-inducing little creature. . ."

I have to say, this was the toughtest one yet to come up with something for because, as you noted in your comment, I think the word'd literal definition would make people think of unpleasant smells. In fact, it seems like in everyday conversation about something that affected our senses we tend to tell people how good something tasted, or how how beautiful a sunset was, or how great some kind of music sounded. But when it comes to smell we are, I think, quicker to tell someone about how awful something was. :) So I made this my attempt to think of smells I associate with good memories.

Thanks for the word!
