Swami Sundaranand tells in the above videos that when one raches a certain stage of yoga, pleasant smell begin to emit from the body. Nicknamed "the Sadhu Who Clicks" because of his photography, he was also a noted mountain climber, having scaled over 25 Himalayan peaks, and climbing twice with Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay.
"Moreover, the heavenly fragrance your body now possesses is proof of the progress you’ve made." ~ mention of fragrance emitting from the body of a yogi in a story from Kathasaritsagara.
Spiritual Guru Sri M told on youtube that his Guru Maheshwarnath Babaji possessed a heavenly fragrance to his body.

In Christianity, saintly people are also said to have a fragrant smell of holiness, like flowers.
Well, if Swami Sundaranand tells it…
I’m told that some people in desperation will have a certain (bad) smell.
What you put into your body comes back out.
I know that sounds overly simplistic, but alcoholics and drug addicts sweat out the toxins, so you can definitely smell the difference in people.
So, consuming things can also have a subjectively positive effect on body odor.
A specific example, is when someone takes the supplement Fenugreek. It makes body odor smell like Maple Syrup
