brotar por los poros


Explanation:
"con la generosa confianza y magnanimidad de nuestros compatriotas brotándole por los poros / que le brotan por los poros"

Es una traducción que conserva más el sentido original de "reek" y que creo que va bien con el tono del texto (del fragmento, al menos).

¡Así tienes donde elegir!
