For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life (2 Cor. 2:15-16). 

The aroma of the knowledge of God comes from Christ and through Christ. The reason why Paul says “aroma” was this: some things are recognized by their smell, even though they are invisible. God, who is invisible, wishes to be understood through Christ. The preaching of Christ reaches our ears just as an aroma reaches our nostrils, bringing God and His Only-Begotten Son right into the midst of His creation. A person who speaks the truth about Christ is just such a good aroma from God, worthy of praises from the one who believes. But one who makes erroneous assertions about Christ has a bad smell toe believers and unbelievers alike. – St. Ambrosiaster
