Hadhrat Abu Hurayrah
رضى الله تعالى عنه
narrates that
رسول الله صلى الله تعالى عليه وسلم
Said:

I take an oath by that Being (ALLAH TA’ALA), in whose control is the life of Muhammed (صلى الله تعالى عليه وسلم), that the smell that emanates from the mouth of a fasting person, is more fragrant to ALLAH TA’ALA, than the fragrance of musk.

(Bukhari/Muslim)

There are various interpretations for the above.

1. The smell is more fragrant to ALLAH TA’ALA, than the smell of musk is to another person.

2. Just as a person is attracted to fragrance, and draws it closer to him, ALLAH TA’ALA draws a fasting person close to Him.

3. A fasting persons reward in the hereafter, will be superior to the smell of musk.

4. In the hereafter, ALLAH TA’ALA will reward a person to such an extent that his breath will be more fragrant than musk.

5. His fragrance is worthy of greater reward than that of musk.
