Out of all the cards I have, Turkey Reds have the most distinct smell. Although most of mine are in the VG/EX to EX range, I do have a few that are borderline NM and they all have the same smell so I don't think the grade has anything to do with it.

Not sure if a smell can be faked - I have seen a few bad reprints that didn't have the smell, but haven't gotten a chance to get a whiff of the high quality ones that Mike Wheat has.
