redemption-scented

adj. Oh lordy lord, will you smell that bacon… Yes, bacon. That is the form my redemption is taking.

Real citation: “It looks like America can’t get enough of watching yesterday’s beloved TV stars don sweatsuits of redemption-scented Lycra and go to boot camp to regain the eye of the tiger.”
(Rob Sheffield, April 8, 2008, Rolling Stone, http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/category/pop-life/)

Made-up citation: “My nose is weak, so I have difficulty detecting redemption-scented omens, gas leaks, and the sweet smell of success, leaving me prone to damnation, death, and failure. Triple bummer.”
