-Trolls I imagine smelling like moss, because we can grow mosses/lichens on our skin IIRC. Our breath isn’t great. We probably have the most regional variety smell-wise.
-Tauren would smell like earth and pipe smoke.
-Orcs: I imagine orcs smelling spicy. Not sure why
-Goblins: Diesel fuel and copper
-Forsaken: depends how long you’ve been dead, although generally probably just mildew
-Blood elf: midsummer day with a hint of cinder
-Pandaren: peachblossom and beer
-Night elf: like a forest troll, possibly with better dental hygiene
-Draenei: votive candles, palm oil, and incense
-Gnome: organic solvent and ozone
-Dwarf: my mom’s truck

I’m a rogue first. Therefore I have no detectable sent to tip off my targets.

Can’t speak for the rest of Orc bros but I smell like earth, sulfur, salt, and a pinch of Sex Panther.

All I know is that I smell fantastic! I shampoo my fur twice a day. I also sleep in jasmine.

That reminds me of the Aftershave Sketch from Monty Python.

I still think Thunder Bluff would smell a lot like a dairy. There should be background noises of cows bellowing off in the distance as ambient sfx.

Considering the lack of bathtubs and proper plumbing, all the races probably smell pretty rank.

Blood Elves smell like cinnamon, orchids and roses, with a hint of iron, or Magic.

I’d say burnt wood but I’m sure that smell is gone now that I’ve had to swim in the stupid sea multiple times in boralus.

Blood elves smell of sweat and shame, kind of like a brothel.

Tauren like grass - night elves like patchouli - trolls like the sea - orcs like blood and thunder

Those are the only races I play. Sorry I don’t go around smelling other people, so couldn’t tell you…

I imagine nightborn smell like an ashtray, and gnomes and goblins like grease and burning rubber. Void elves probable smell like glade plugins. Humans smell like cheese. Pandas and dwarves like beer. Blood elves like a perfume counter in a department store. Draenei probably smell like cotton candy. Worgen wet dog.

Gnomes smell like candy. At least the girlies do.
