* In ''Kanojo wa Sore o Gaman Dekinai'', the main character, due to a traumatic incident, near constantly wears a full body dog mascot suit, which has him sweat a lot.

* ''Fanfic/GinnyWeasleyAndTheHalfBloodPrince'':
** As in canon, Amortentia, the world's strongest love potion, smells like whatever attracts you. However, it's recontextualized a bit. Harry doesn't smell Ginny's hair, but a new perfume that Fleur had given Ginny. It also takes Ginny a long time to identify the third thing she smells. It turns out to be [[spoiler:phoenix tears. In her case (and presumably Harry's) the third smell is a ''memory''; Harry's is apparently the first time he saw her as a potential LoveInterest (which happened to be when she wore the new perfume), and for her it's when Harry carried her out of the Chamber of Secrets]].
** Ron wonders why he smelled ink in the potion. Ginny immediately looks over to Hermione who is, as always, covered in ink stains.
* In ''Fanfic/TheChangelingOfTheGuard'', thestrals can [[TheNoseKnows detect changelings through their disguise by their scent]].

-->She let out a chittey giggle, nervous. “The night guard has a joke that if it smells like coming home, it’s Idol Hooves coming on shift.” At my concerned look, she clarified. “It’s really a thestral thing. You don’t smell exactly like a pony, you kinda smell… um… good.” She cleared her throat. “Like. Really good. Nobody can really put a hoof on what it is but we like it.”\\
“...I do recall one of the unicorn night guard begging me for my cologne and then rolling all over me when I told him I had no idea what he meant. It was important for a ‘big date’.”\\
“Oh yeah, he absolutely got lucky with that one, then. Bold move, but I actually bet it worked?” At my stunned look, Mothchaser blushed. “It’s uh. Yeah. It’s a thing. Actually had to hold one of the New Moons back because they wanted to see if you tasted as good as you smelled.” I stared. She coughed.
