Garrett here has a few abilities. First and foremost, he has heightened senses. What would your character smell like? Is there anything he would notice through heightened hearing?

Also, thanks to coming from a world where magic is something that the very animals and trees end up soaking in, his nose is sensitive to that too. He picks up magic as a very distinct scent. If your character uses magic, would he be able to smell this on them? If they've ever been under a curse or used magical objects, can he smell that on them?

He also has a staff that absorbs magic like a sponge. It's limited to direct magical energy. For example, if Harry Potter blasted a hex at Garrett, the staff would absorb the energy before it hit Garrett. If Harry Potter used a spell to lift up a chair and throw it at Garrett, the staff wouldn't be able to do anything. If your character uses magic, would their magic be in any way affected by the staff?

Donna Noble:

For the most part Donna is human. She has the dormant consciousness of a Time Lord in her mind, but it shouldn't affect her scent. She does have traces of stardust, space and Void-stuff though.

She has no magic powers.

Meg:

Meg is a demon and has a slight sulphury odour to her.

She is well versed in black magic, as well as possessing skills in telekinesis and biokinisis.

Balthazar is an angel. Shapeshifters have noticed in the past that he has a smoky scent, and occasionally his wings will rustle, so if Garrett has good hearing, he may catch that sound. He's got magic of a Heavenly sort, but I'm not sure Garrett's staff would affect that. Have a look at his perms and see what you think.

Courtney is a witch. If anything, she smells like juniper berries and rain, but he's welcome to pick up the scent of magic on her, too. She tends to use mostly direct magic in a combat situation, but she probably won't start anything. If it does happen, his staff will definitely affect her abilities.

Peter Rumancek | Hemlock Grove

Peter "smells sweet, like a puppy". Like autumn leaves, aged paper, juniper, the forest floor after a storm, and a vague hint of hemlock. If Garrett has any familiarity, he's a werewolf. He smells more wolf than human, even to human senses. His resting heartbeat is notably faster than human normal.

Peter probably has a very subtle scent of magic about him, but it's unlikely to be anything specific. On that tangent, I don't see it being affected by the staff as it's passive. There's a sort of magic about him, and he has certain perception abilities that seem magical in nature, but nothing that would ever be directly targeted.

Carter is mostly human, but he'll definitely be able to smell magic on her as well as honey.

The chances of them fighting are pretty slim, but if she were to attack him, her spells would all be affected by the staff.

Loki would smell noticeably different from a human both in terms of natural scent and any possible scent adornment. More notably, he would also smell decidedly different from any other Asgardians, which is something Garrett is more than welcome to pick up on if he should happen to be in a position to notice it.

While I assume Loki's 'magic' abilities arise more out of a natural and learned aptitude for the manipulation of energy -- grounded in physics, that is, rather than purely magical -- Garrett is more than welcome to smell it on him. He's spent his life around magical (in the same sense as the above) objects, as well, so that's also something that could be noticed.

You're also more than welcome to assume the staff would work if Loki attempts to use magic on him directly. :)

EDIT: Oh yeah, I forgot to add -- if he can hear heartbeats and/or respiration, he should be able to notice that Loki's is rather slower than a human's would be.
