Giving off perfume
Sweet-smelling describes something that has a pleasant fragrance: sweet-smelling flowers, sweet-smelling soap.
The compound is straightforward—it means exactly what its parts suggest.
Things described as sweet-smelling are typically floral, fruity, or otherwise agreeable to the nose, as opposed to sharp, musty, or foul.
