Discharge is always going to smell in some form.

Take that yellow mix and bump the pigment load to 9% then add 10% of brite white to it, print again. The color about explodes off the shirt.

Straight base with pigments works good for white based shirts, for that great pop on black shirts you need to experiment with adding white and or starting with white and base. Some pretty nice results as it's a pigment based system.

Decent?

Maybe it looks different in person but the pic makes it look fantastic.  I think most of us would love to get those results.  I got a sample of some yellow sericol discharge that I will try tomorrow and I'll be happy as hell if I get close to that.
