No, the bad version is *He'So'.* There is no good version. *He'* is neutral.
KGT:
The verb meaning "smell"—that is, "sense odors"—is *largh.* The word
for "emit a smell" is *He'.* This does not necessarily imply a bad
smell. Odors are not considered "good" or "bad"; they are just
odors. There may be a subjective evaluation of the <source> of the
odor, however. It is a compliment to suggest that someone smells
like /rokeg/ blood pie not because the smell itself is good, but
rather because the food carries with it positive associations. On
the other hand, it is most insulting to say that someone smells like
rotting /forshak./
