In German "he has a nose for something" means "he's good at
finding out/he has uncanny intuition". You can also say in a more
colloquial way "he has a smeller for something".
Sleuths and spys are called "Spurnase" (nose that discovers/finds
out).
Fritz Goerling
In Konni (Gur language family, northern Ghana), "he has nose" means "he's
alive."
