create alias smell -> body_odor

I agree with username_hidden in topic #20020

I would rename smell to body_odor and make it imply smell. That way smell can be used for things beyond body odor fetish/it can be filtered.

We are mixing a fetish genre like post #5310067 and matter-of-fact tagging like post #5219790. The former is what the pixiv tags 臭いフェチ and 臭い actually mean.

You assume people won't just use either according to their personal preference if both tags exist. "smell" and "odor" are synonyms in this context. Trying to enforce a distinction is never going to work.

I don't think the split is that much of a necessity, after all simple stink trail posts are outnumbered more than 10 to 1. I just want a name change that showcases what the tag is actually about to people.
