I doubt any hamster would be a match for mice when it comes to smell but they do vary.
No experience with syrians but the one female Russian I had was a bit smelly when in heat, it wasn't unpleasant or that strong though. None of my male Russians has ever been smelly, nor have my female Chinese, my male Chineseys do have smelly wheels though!
