Hmm. Interesting theory, but unfortunately a little bit completely incorrect.

Because roses smell good, the idiom "to come out of this smelling like a rose" indicates a positive result or finish to a situation. Kevin is saying that they will turn a possible disaster into a grand success. The "be bound to" construction indicates near certainty or strong probability.
"Smelling like a rose" should not be taken literally in this context. Kevin is not referring to the perfumes themselves, but to himself, Susie and Philip.
