Which of the following sentences would best replace the phrase: "we're sure to come out of this smelling like a rose"?
Hmm. Interesting theory, but unfortunately a little bit completely incorrect.
Although Kevin's enthusiasm may imply that they are going to receive raises, he never makes a direct reference to it. When he says that they are going to "come out of this smelling like a rose" he is referring to the general success of their project.
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.
