Πως είναι το \"sweet-smelling\" πιο \"literary\", δεν γνωρίζω, πάντως από Milton to Tennyson to Shakespeare to Bronte to G. Arnold (probably Matthew as well) and Edna St. Vincent Millay
....
G. ARNOLD
Now comes a fragrant breeze
Through the dark cedar-trees,
And round about my temples fondly lingers,
In gentle playfulness,
Like to the soft caress
Bestowed in happier days by loving fingers
MILTON
Glistring with dew; fragrant the fertile earth

(Paradise regained)
That fragrant smell diffused, in order stood
Tall stripling youths rich-clad, of fairer hue
Than Ganymed or Hylas; distant more,
Under the trees now tripped, now solemn stood,
Nymphs of Diana\'s train, and Naiades

μυρωμένος sweet-smelling

Explanation:
Spring is a time of singing birds, sweet-smelling air, emerald green grass, trees shimmering with new leaves, and above all, flowers. Spring reminds us of youth, of optimism, of new beginnings, particularly when we're sauntering along a flower-strewn path.
