にんにくの香り
Flavor here means the taste, but possibly with an emphasis on the 'smell' part of the taste. I think "香り" is the closest Japanese term.
Normally one would say "my suit smells like garlic". The choice of the word "flavor" indicates the author's intent to emphasize the taste. (Of course you cannot taste his suit though).
私の背広はにんにくの香りを引き受けた or something like that...?
