I was never taught this as a doctrine of the Church, through 13 years of Catholic education.

During Catechism I was taught that the bodies of Saints were often uncorrupted after death and smelled of flowers.

I converted to Christianity.

uncorrupted after death and smelled of flowers.

Like this one?

Titan arum, corpse flower
The titan arum, the first of two flowers in this list nicknamed the corpse flower, carries the unfortunate designation of being "the worst smelling flower in the world." It smells like — you guessed it — a stinking, rotting corpse. (emphasis mine)
