Dead bodies decompose super fast, because our natural microflora (microorganisms) start to feed on our body due to the lack of metabolism products that they usually feed on, that's why corpses gain a distinctive smell.
The idea behind dhampirs and vampires is that the laws of biology kinda do a backflip, metabolism changes to accomodate the new food source (is the only logical way for me to attempt to explain it 😅)
Anyhow in the end those are something like forever-fresh corpses, that means no distinctive smell...
OOC:
Ofcourse the DM could always rule otherwise!
