Not too hard. If you're using the Black Magic rules (
Magic, p154-55), anyone with any Black Penalty has the physical quirk of "smells sulphurous." At, say 3 levels, it's strong enough to give -2 to reactions, even for people who don't know what it means, and at 6 or 7 levels, you have full Bad Smell.
If you're using the Corruption rules (
Horror, p146-48), you just require that some fraction of the negative character points thus acquired go into smells.
Incidentally, "Distinctive scent" seems like a valid physical quirk. My sense of smell is very ordinary, and I've known perfectly hygienic people who had natural and individual scents.
