pork - porky smell
chicken -???
what we say for chicken?
 
I have never heard "porky smell. I would say "the smell of pork". The same goes for chicken.
 
A agree with 'Mike.

There's also

meaty smell

herby smell

garlicky smell

oniony smell

cheesy smell
 
I am not a teacher.

You could always say, "That chicken smells fowl". ;-)
 
fish smell fishy :-D
 
I don't have a problem with "That has a slightly porky smell" to mean "It smells a bit like pork".
