Why do covalent bonds have an odor?

Odor is not typical of covalent bonds. I think you meant "why do covalent compounds have an odor?". Not all covalent compounds can be smelled. Only gases can be smelled. If something doesn't produce gas, we can't smell it. Often a solid or liquid will produce traces of vapor, which can be smelled. But it is impossible to smell ionic compounds, since they do not produce vapor.
