We present compounding evidence of supersymmetry (SUSY) production at the LHC, in the form of correlations between the nominal 5\fb ATLAS and CMS results for the 7 TeV 2011 run and detailed Monte Carlo collider-detector simulation of a concrete supersymmetric model named No-Scale F-SU(5). Restricting analysis to those event selections which yield a signal significance S/sqrt(B+1) greater than 2, we find by application of the χ2 statistic that strong correlations exist among the individual search strategies and also between the current best fit to the SUSY mass scale and that achieved using historical 1\fb data sets. Coupled with an appropriately large increase in the "depth" of the χ2 well with increasing luminosity, we suggest that these features indicate the presence of a non-random structure to the data - a light fragrance perhaps evocative of some fuller coming fruition. Those searches having signal significances below 2 are assembled into a lower exclusion bound on the gaugino mass, which is shown to be consistent with the prior best fit. Assuming the forthcoming delivery of an additional tranche of integrated luminosity at 8 TeV during 2012 that measures on the order 15\fb, we project a sufficiency of actionable data to conclusively judge the merits of our proposal.
