why are scent fetishes so common in wholesome manga?
Because it's among one of the most common fetishes in real life. The sense of smell is deeply tied to people's memories and emotions, hence the reason things like aroma therapy and soothing scents exist. It's also the reason for scented hygiene products and perfume/cologne, because people are unconsciously attracted to scents they like, but also tend to become attracted to the scents of the people they like too.

That's not a fetish though, a fetish is sexual, it would mean smell turns you on, not just that you like things that smell nice

It's true fetishes are sexual in nature, but fetishes are pretty much just intense likes that slip into being arousing for a party, whether it's visual, auditory, tactile, or scent. Granted a fetish is a very singular sexual desire, to the point of obsession, while lots of things are sexually arousing without being a fetish.

For example, you might think a woman looks really good and has a very sexy voice and thinking of her gets you aroused but that doesn't necessarily mean you have a voice fetish or a fetish for something about her appearance, just that it's sexually attractive to you.
