courtesy sniff 

When someone smells something gross and says, "ugh, nasty! Do you smell that?" and you breathe deeply to take in the smell and confirm said nastiness, you have just performed a courtesy sniff.

George: Gross, I think the cat peed on my rug. Paul, will you come give it a courtesy sniff?

Paul: (bends face towards rug and breathes in) Dude, yeah, cat totally peed on your rug. Sorry, bro.
