like fish isn't it obvious
Penguins do have a sense of smell, but wether or not it is 'good' is entirely up to you!
smell.
No, penguins do not have a strong odor as they have a layer of feathers that help keep them clean and odor-free. Additionally, they are known to preen themselves regularly to maintain their cleanliness.
There are no natural smells on Antarctica. However, breeding penguins on Antarctica's beaches exude guano and regurgitated food -- to feed their land-bound young -- as part of their normal bodily functions, and this guano mix can be an extremely unpleasant smell for humans. Penguins don't seem to mind. Most of what penguins actually smell remains a mystery. According to a 2013 study by the German Inter-Research Science Center: ". . . phytoplankton release dimethylsulphoniopropionate in the seawater, which is then catabolized to dimethyl sulphide (DMS) that is emitted to the air." (This leads krill-feeding animals to high-density food sources.) At sea, there's no evidence that penguins respond to DMS, however, they do respond to it on land.
Yes, penguins do have noses. They have small nostrils at the base of their beaks that they use for smelling and breathing. Penguins have a keen sense of smell that helps them locate food in the water.
They do because they crap on themselfs.

Emperor penguins can see, hear, and sense touch. I don't know whether they have a sense of taste or if they can smell.
Penguins recognize each other through vocalizations, unique body postures, and distinctive physical markings. They may also use their sense of smell to distinguish one another. Some penguins can recognize their partner or chick by their specific calls or vocalizations.
Penguins don't have a high range off hearing but they pick up on vibrations. Their sense of sight and smell make up for what they miss with their low hearing range. They can see very far distances and have a strong sense of smell.
Penguins have a special oil-producing gland that waterproofs their feathers and prevents bacterial growth, which helps avoid any strong smells associated with bacteria. Additionally, their diet of mainly fish and crustaceans may contribute to their lack of strong body odor.
