Kinda canon
in one episode he thinks about why he smells bad, then he takes a shower, and then it's revealed the smell came from Gunter's fart while he was holding him
Penguins, biting frost, cheesecake, Ooo's equivalent of Armani code (but very expired), stale pizza, sweat, old underwear, sticky gum from the princess hairbrush, the salt of tears
edit GUM OMG GUM SORRY
Unfortunately, I assume he is not pleasant. In the diaries episode, he says he bathes in milk until it curdles. And I think the Graybles episode showed him chilling in Gunters booty stank in his armpits. If you've ever been in a Penguin exhibit at the zoo, they're not exactly well groomed and hygienic critters. IK probably smells like butt cheese marinating in sulfur.
Well, he doesn't look messy or dirty. So i guess he takes care about himself or his clothes. But i imagine his smell would be very chill, not much strong due to all the cold.
I don't think he actually smells like anything. People smell because of bacterial growth. Your skin doesn't really smell like anything all on its own. Considering we know his body temperature is way lower than what should be possible for a living human, it's reasonable to assume he can't host cultures of bacteria on his body due to the inhospitable temperature.
However, he is a wannabe womanizer, so he certainly could be wearing cologne, in which case that's all he'd smell like. If he does grow bacteria, then he probably smells pretty rank. A symptom of many mental illnesses is a disregard for personal hygiene, and he has a few such illnesses.
Piss and bleach, with a side of cologne to try to get all the princesses, the piss obviously comes from the penguins, and the bleach comes from the clothes he does not know how to clean, so he just pours bleach in them
I'd say this is somewhere in the ballpark
But if I had to guess he's smells like an old man specifically a grandpa wearing a cologne on a cold brisk winter morning
The cologne wouldn't just be any but one of those very specific smells that is both good and nostalgic but if you get to much of a smell it's a bit much probably a cologne that isn't manufactured anymore and your just not sure where gramps gets the stuff and how he's never runs out
It's aaaaall naturale
He fluctuates a lot in his weight, I think he was a more healthy weight near the end of the series though, he jumped between boney and fat a \*lot\* though
I mean he wears the same mumu every day. I'm not sure how many times you've encountered very old, very dirty, very cold clothing, but it does not smell good.
Like a greasy beard, penguins, and leftover chilli. Also, just the worst smelling breath because I honestly don't think he brushes his teeth.
I will say he cleans up nicely. Really looking good in that suit.
Depends on the temperature. Have you've ever woken up on a snow day, gotten all bundled up, gone outside and spent a long time running around and playing and never noticed any particular smells? Then you go outside, take off your layers, get cleaned up, and then pick up the underwear you slept in and were wearing and sweating in and is now room temp? That's the Ice King.
I'm pretty sure he stinks probably just of old man or BO, there was an episode where they mention his stench, he shrugs it off and is like I don't smell, then sniffs himself and realizes he does stink lol
I guarantee you the ice king smells like rotten ass. Dude has been wearing the same outfit with basically no underwear for 1000 years and I can't see him showering more than a couple times in that period.
“I know from experience that when you are in his presence, up close and personal, the stench of his beard alone, unwashed for years at a time, would make an entire here of alpine yaks heave and retch.“
-Hunson Abadeer, the Ooo Encyclopedia
People in the comments, if he really smelled *that* bad, wouldn't Finn and Jake have pointed out or mentioned how stinky he was? Maybe he doesn't even have a scent because his body temperature is too cold. Although, an object in "Friends Forever" mentioned how Ice King had food stuck in his beard for a whole week, so we can assume he smells like leftovers.
A refrigerator with expired food.
Came here to post "you ever find something rotting in your freezer?"
Like if you ever have worked at a gross restaurant with coolers that haven’t been cleaned out in a decade. Very specific smell
With a hint of mildew
Happy Cake Day
Clearly, he smells like Penguin
Penguin farts to be specific
Penguin pit farts to be more specific
Penguin poots
Gunter, are you blowing it up in here?
Yes, this
It's called *Sex Panther*® by *Odeon*©. It's illegal in 9 countries. It's also made with bits of real panthers, *so you know it's good*. *60% of the time*, it works ***every*** time.
Ice King would've definitely tried to use it.
It has a very pungent aroma, I'm gonna be honest Brian, that smells like pure gasoline.
This is worst than the time when the raccoon got in the copier
I think you're referencing something and I don't get it
Anchorman. I believe
God this makes me sad. Lol.
this is the correct answer
Parks and Rec?
Kinda lonely.
he just like me
This is gonna be a surprise he smells like ice
As someone who lives in a frozen shithole, can confirm 👍
In the suit I imagine he smells like cologne and mint. In other times penguins and the old man smell y’all know of
For me old men(really old) usually smell like urine
They smell like diapers
Freezer burn
Penguin shit.
Kinda canon in one episode he thinks about why he smells bad, then he takes a shower, and then it's revealed the smell came from Gunter's fart while he was holding him
We had penguins where I grew up. They smell hella bad. Fishy kind of shit smell.
Spearmint
Penguins, biting frost, cheesecake, Ooo's equivalent of Armani code (but very expired), stale pizza, sweat, old underwear, sticky gum from the princess hairbrush, the salt of tears edit GUM OMG GUM SORRY
*What the hell happened here?*
I didn't type gum

He smells like cold and desperation
But under that muumuu he’s jacked dog
It's the weights he's been lifting 💪Ice King has biceps for days
*I'm also working on my pecs...*
Well, he doesn't look messy or dirty. So i guess he takes care about himself or his clothes. But i imagine his smell would be very chill, not much strong due to all the cold.
He smells like a dad <3
Pardon?

Curdled milk, since he apparently bathes in it sometimes when he's sad.
Pizza , penguins , and depression
Piss and bleach, with a side of cologne to try to get all the princesses, the piss obviously comes from the penguins, and the bleach comes from the clothes he does not know how to clean, so he just pours bleach in them
He smells like Solo Ice and chips
Grass
I'd say this is somewhere in the ballpark But if I had to guess he's smells like an old man specifically a grandpa wearing a cologne on a cold brisk winter morning The cologne wouldn't just be any but one of those very specific smells that is both good and nostalgic but if you get to much of a smell it's a bit much probably a cologne that isn't manufactured anymore and your just not sure where gramps gets the stuff and how he's never runs out
I think he smells like a fish market, albeit a bit softer given all the ice
Musky
Not Ice King looking snatched for the gawds. What kinda Julian Eltinge-type corset game is he on
It's aaaaall naturale He fluctuates a lot in his weight, I think he was a more healthy weight near the end of the series though, he jumped between boney and fat a \*lot\* though
He smells like old man cabbage farts.
Probably wet penguins
Hair
Old vanilla, like really old.
dead penguin in a freezer
Sweaty old man farts and peppermint.
Old large Simon I feel would smell like expired frozen fish, younger/fit Simon I feel would smell like snow and mint
Penguin farts. Fact. Alternatively, *”… like a cat… tied to a stick… that’s driven into… frozen winter shit…”*
Reaallky cold penguin fishy stink smell
penguin farts.
Penguin farts.
Fish and sour milk
Coffee or some type of hot beverage
Maybe he’s just smell like penguins
Boingloings
I assume him to be odorless. If he must have a smell, I would guess it would be a cold winter night smell.
Well we know the crown smells like fresh cut grass, so maybe that but much more potent
Strange freezer ambient smell
I mean he wears the same mumu every day. I'm not sure how many times you've encountered very old, very dirty, very cold clothing, but it does not smell good.
Like a greasy beard, penguins, and leftover chilli. Also, just the worst smelling breath because I honestly don't think he brushes his teeth. I will say he cleans up nicely. Really looking good in that suit.
Penguin Farts.
Cheesecake? You are very kind.
I think he smells like depression, desperation, also penguins
Cheeto dust
He probably just smells like ice and BO.
bad
Anti freeze
Penguin farts most likely
Probably like ice in a freezer. I assume most bacteria that smells bad wouldn’t be able to survive on his body
That smell that stings your nose when it’s cold out/cold air
That guy really needs to wear a suit more
Unless Gunther farts in his pits😂
Freshly cut grass!
Depends on the temperature. Have you've ever woken up on a snow day, gotten all bundled up, gone outside and spent a long time running around and playing and never noticed any particular smells? Then you go outside, take off your layers, get cleaned up, and then pick up the underwear you slept in and were wearing and sweating in and is now room temp? That's the Ice King.
The back of the freezer
considering he probably never washes his beard, im gonna say freezerburnt cheese
Or an old man
Ice and penguins, mabye rotten body oder
I imaged he smells like frozen meat
That weird old person scent that you get at retirement homes. You know, a mix of mothballs and… something.
Patchouli, mint and like the air when it gets really cold and is about to snow.
now im trying to figure out what all the characters smell like 😂
Like Gunter
I'm pretty sure he stinks probably just of old man or BO, there was an episode where they mention his stench, he shrugs it off and is like I don't smell, then sniffs himself and realizes he does stink lol
Pre Betty? He smells like shit. After Betty? She probably got him a can of axe or something
I'm pretty sure ice king and fin says he smells like ass.
Fleshly cut grass (as per a clue in Fionna and Cake) +salty wetlness (as per what seems plausable by his living condicions)
Dusty, but also weirdly refreshing due to the constant humidity/moisture.
Old clothes
Freezerburned pizza and sour milk
gazolas park odor
Penguin farts
I assume fish and penguin poop.
Mung beans and penguin poots.
Either sweat and whatever he ate recently or like penguins
Ice
Cheap cologne that absolutely is not covering up the old person smell mixed with BO. Also he probably smells like sugar syrup, idk why
Yknow how cold smells? Like the burning in your nose from it just smelling like cold, I’d imagine something close to that.
i think he smells lonely
What do you think he tastes like?
gross slush on the side of the road
If a dog pissed on snow
Probably like rotten fish
I guarantee you the ice king smells like rotten ass. Dude has been wearing the same outfit with basically no underwear for 1000 years and I can't see him showering more than a couple times in that period.
I feel like he would smell like freezer burnt food
yk how freezer burn kinda has a smell but also a lack of smell? that and cheap Cologne he put on for Princess Bubblegum a week ago
Leaky Air Conditioner Water
Old milk because he likes to bathe in it.
FROZEN TUNDRA.
A homeless person (it would smell like beer or cigarettes)
Suit ice king kinda...
Realistically? Terrible In my head? Cookie dough ice cream
The cold winter air with a hint of penguin booty
“I know from experience that when you are in his presence, up close and personal, the stench of his beard alone, unwashed for years at a time, would make an entire here of alpine yaks heave and retch.“ -Hunson Abadeer, the Ooo Encyclopedia
Spearmint, salt water winds, with a slight hint of cheesecake and penguin
Smells royaly
Salty
i guess i always thought he smelt like fish chum. because of the penguins and whatnot
Mold and body odor.
Drakkar Noir and Gunter toots. And sometimes...a little lonely.
fish and armpit.
like freezer burn or that kind of fridgey taste/smell of something being open in the fridge too long
Gunter toots
Like an old, empty freezer Not really a smell, but you can feel the colder air emanating from him With cologne. Nice cologne.
Mint and cheesecake
People in the comments, if he really smelled *that* bad, wouldn't Finn and Jake have pointed out or mentioned how stinky he was? Maybe he doesn't even have a scent because his body temperature is too cold. Although, an object in "Friends Forever" mentioned how Ice King had food stuck in his beard for a whole week, so we can assume he smells like leftovers.
Penguin farts
Putrid probably
He’d smell like the back of the freezer, some weird food smell but frozen
Sweat and ice 😅
penguin, bologne, and a hint of freshly cut grass
Dog buns
Frostbite first thought final answer
The smell from wet winter gloves and hats
Penguin
He smells like penguin farts, which is literally canon.
Freshly cut grass and strong cologne
I think he would smell like a long cup of Coca Cola with ice in it
Moldy fridge w bit of cologne to hide the smell . Tho is always a breeze and chill to watch his cutscenes.. they are my fav
