I usually use "smoke check/test" or "smell test", but if you have a specific context in mind, maybe I can give you a different alternative phrase I use or two.

Definitely not something I'd force onto others either though.
- wmeredith 1y agoAre we just disregarding the differently-abled people who have a diminished sense of smell? /s
- josefx 1y ago> "smell test" There are a lot more people who would fail that test and be offended when pointed out. That group includes some forms of mental illness as well.
- perching_aix 1y agoDon't people who "fail a smell test" and get offended do so because they they think it's a propestourous claim they're failing it? It's kind of the opposite situation, cause wouldn't that make them not take it on themselves by default and thus not wish for the nonuse of this phrasing?
