Rav Zutra bar Tuvya said in the name of Rav: How do we know that we need to say blessings over fragrances? Because the book of Tehillim says, "Every soul will praise Hashem." (Tehillim 150:6) From what kind of thing does the soul benefit, but the body doesn't benefit? Fragrances!
Rav Zutra bar Tuvya said in the name of Rav: After the Moshiach comes, Jewish teenagers will smell like the forests of Lebanon, as Hoshea says: "His sucklings will walk, his beauty will be like the olive tree, and his fragrance like the forests of Lebanon." (Hoshea 14:7)
(Brachot 43b)
