In the Greek Orthodox liturgy, there is a post-consecration prayer in Greek Ὅπως ὁ φιλάνθρωπος Θεὸς ἡμῶν, ὁ προσδεξάμενος αὐτὰ εἰς τὸ ἅγιον καὶ ὑπερουράνιον καὶ νοερὸν αὐτοῦ θυσιαστήριον εἰς ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας πνευματικῆς, ἀντικαταπέμψῃ ἡμῖν τὴν θείαν χάριν καὶ τὴν δωρεὰν τοῦ ἁγίου Πνεύματος, δεηθῶμεν.

It is translated as, "That our God Who loves mankind, having accepted them at His holy and celestial and mystical altar as an offering of spiritual fragrance, may in return send down upon us the divine grace and the gift of the Holy Spirit, let us pray."

So in Orthodoxy, the wheat and the grapes that God gives to us to make bread and wine, are given back to God for Him to turn into the Body and Blood of Christ.

Savor (fragrance) refers to olefactory. . ."sweet savour" being the customary reference to the sacrifices (Lev 1:9, 13, 17, 2:2, 9, 3:5, 16).
Why Be the Lamb(Yeshua)'s fragrance of Death the most favorite of HaShem? HaShem likes to "Eat" His Only Son and us as an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour?

2 Corinthians 2:15 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:
Eph 5:2 - Christ's sacrifice was a fragrant offering; i.e., pleasing to God.

2 Corinthians 2:15 - to the two categories of mankind, the gospel has a different smell:
to those who are being saved (v.15), it is sweet-smelling, the fragrance of life,
to those who are perishing (v.16), it is foul-smelling, the smell of death.
