Would you recognize it if you smelled it?  The US-based Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab thinks they can. They’ve taken a stab at it with their line of RPG inspired perfumes.

Good has a base of vanilla and musk while Evil has a more pungent aroma, smelling like opium tar, tobacco absolute and black plum. In true RPG style smells also come in Elf, Dwarf and Paladin. Who knew Halflings (Hobbits) smelled like pastry crumbs?
