God's presence when encountered has a fragrance or a sweet smell. This experience is often rare in the life of the believer, but is true indeed. Although I do not smell the presence of God every time I pray, there have been times where in I have smelled the presence of the LORD. It smells so good!

The aroma of God's glory will intrigue the greatest skeptic and cause even those who are from the scientific community to turn there heads. When the presence of the LORD comes in a deep fashion and you encounter it. You may be able to smell what many call a "Sweet fragrance", "Unique spices" or some have even called it an aroma that smells like "Vanilla". 

Its a very unique encounter, but is real. Those who are filled with the Holy spirit and fellowship with the LORD often may have this encounter. Those who are closest to God will have this type of encounter. Although many Saints do not understand it, in time you may understand it while on earth.
