The fluid that oozes from its mouth isn't drool. It's a nectar that is used to attract prey.

What appears to be drool is actually sweet honey. It is very sticky and clings stubbornly if touched.

The smelll from its drool-like syrup and the pollen on its petals is so bad, it may make opponents faint.

Gloom releases a foul fragrance from the pistil of its flower. When faced with danger, the stench worsens. If this Pokémon is feeling calm and secure, it does not release its usual stinky aroma.
Sapphire
From its mouth Gloom drips honey that smells absolutely horrible. Apparently, it loves the horrid stench. It sniffs the noxious fumes and then drools even more of its honey.
Emerald
A horribly noxious honey drools from its mouth. One whiff of the honey can result in memory loss. Some fans are said to enjoy this overwhelming stink, however.

Trivia

Gloom is the only dual-typed that can evolve into a single-type being Bellossom.
A threatened Gloom or a normal Gloom will give out a horrifying smell, while if a Gloom is not threatened it's scent will smell just fine.
