Yes temperature affects odour.

You can only smell gasses, or particles held in the air which you can inhale.

At higher temperatures materials will find it easier to transfer to a gaseous state, or to break down into small enough particles to be carried by wind.

At very low temperatures when objects will freeze they become virtually odourless as the solid material can not reach your nose.

If we use the wonderful dog poo analogy.

On a hot day the smell will travel faster, further and smell worse than on a cold day as it will break down, and particles can be carried by higher energy warmer air.

A frozen poo is near odourless.

Can certain vaginal odors indicate pregnancy?

If it is strictly an odor, no. Sometimes odor can be a result of infections though, this can affect your fertility. All women naturally have a vaginal odor. This is because the vagina is a self-cleaning organ. The odor is just the smell of your vagina discharge. This discharge changes with your cycle. When your discharge is clear and stretchy, this is generally the sign that you are ovulating (which is the best time to try to conceive). The odor of discharge is often strongest during ovulation or right before your period. Exercising can also change the consistency and odor of your discharge as well. So to answer your question, odor alone will not affect your fertility but the reason for the odor can affect your fertility.
