    From the description you give, I think they are probably rose beads.
    Those were very popular in the 1800's through the early 1900's and
    are made with actual rose blossoms as their base. You could try
    sanding one bead (in an inconspicuous place) and seeing if the scent
    becomes stronger so that you can identify the materials used.
