The Master’s anger is appeased through smelling the pleasant aroma. The nostril is the word the Hebrews used to describe anger. See note at Genesis 27:45. More so the word olah indicates an ascent.

Compare also 2 Cor. 2:15 literal, “For of Christ a sweet perfume we are to God in those being saved and in those perishing”
