Trivia
- Using Sweet Scent (or Honey) inside a shop or Poké Mart in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl may activate a glitch causing the descriptive text of purchasable items to vanish until the player leaves the shop, known as the honey shop glitch.
- Despite its name, it will still attract Pokémon who do not like sweet flavors.
