When you greet someone and go in for the hug, then do some rapid but heavy sniffing to establish the persons’ scent, or possibly get a sense of where they have been or who they have been with. Most often used on significant other or potential significant other.
My man came around looking all sheepish, I gave him The Royal Sniff and he smelled like that HO from the mall.
