Pure gold is odorless. Any scents that you detect are imperfections found in the metal. I have heard the saying "Smell The Gold" but I have never known Gold to have any kind of Odor.
Polonium has no odor.
DDT hasn't an odor.
Cerium hasn't odor.
The odor of kerosene is "aromatic".

Silver does not have an exact smell nor a strong one Ed: Actually, it does, but the smell is hard to describe. Try smelling a genuine silver item and then compare it to other (perhaps supposedly) silver items. This is a great method if you are interested in antiques and want to see if a certain item is genuine silver. Good luck!! =D
I don't think Rhenium is very odorous because it is a silvery-white metal with one of the highest melting points (3186 °C) of all elements, exceeded by only tungsten and carbon. Its boiling point is even higher: 5596 °C, which indicates a very, very low partial vapor pressure at STP. (Btw. can you smell pure gold or platinum?)

Odor
no, it does not.
"Mushy" is a texture, not an odor. There cannot be a "mushy" odor any more than there can be a "sticky" odor.
Pure gold itself does not have a smell because it is an inert metal. However, some people might perceive a metallic odor when handling gold coins or jewelry due to the presence of oils and other contaminants on the surface of the metal.
Uranium has no odor.
Zirconium has no odor.
