sweet smell
Nose-pleasing scent
A sweet smell is a pleasant, often sugary or floral scent.
The phrase appears literally—the sweet smell of honeysuckle—but more often figuratively in the sweet smell of success, meaning the satisfying feeling of achievement or victory.
That expression carries a hint of indulgence, suggesting success is something to savor.
