Imagine someone smelling like a rose -- this phrase means that no matter what the person does, the "stink" of doing bad things never seems to stick to them, and they "smell" good all the time to the people in charge. If your coworker never gets caught stealing office supplies, you might say "he's a thief, but he always comes up smelling like a rose."
