I used the Neutrogena one in high school for prom since I had an awful farmer's tan from softball. I don't remember the odor, but I'm sure there was one. I recently tried one out by accident - the Avon Skin So Soft Satin Glow stuff. I saw the word "shimmer" or something and just thought it would have pretty sparklies in it, but it turns out to be a gradual tanner. Since I have it, I use it every now and then in the winter when I feel like I am getting too pale or in the summer to even out my tan from all my differently shaped running clothes. It also has a smell that won't go away for a day or so. It doesn't smell all that bad, but it's not something I'd want to smell every day. I feel like the whole chemical reaction involved in changing your skin pigment is probably going to make some kind of icky smell no matter what, though you might want to experiment with different brands to see if there is one that is less offensive to you than others.
