Wash the soot off then spray the entire thing with this stuff called Approach. You can get it online at www.approachit.net
It's fantastic stuff and there are no chemicals so you can go ahead and light a fire without worrying about breathing anything in. It'll clear up any odor problem you get.
Good luck!

regular cleaning is a must. also the kind and quality of wood being used can change the smells. To answer your question for now, a good fireplace and chiminey cleaning.

keep a fire lit (i dont mean a roaring fire all day every day just enough to keep things ticking over) and you can choose what wood your going to burn to get that wood's smell (oak, pine, etc.) in the room after all even in the summer when its hot during the day its still cold once the sun goes down, so thats when you light the fire

A strong air freshener placed inside the firebox should do the trick.

Clean it. You have mold and mildew in it from condensation.
