Another common example is:
a whiff of fresh air
It generally means a single small gust of air.
In general, "whiff" is used as a small, brief, one time air flowing concept. Smelling, breathing, feeling air briefly.

caught and got a whiff are the same idea, to passively smell or breathe in. I use these phrases most often when using whiff.
take a whiff is a little different idea as it means to have more of an active sniff of the air to breathe it in.
You could use whiff alone, but not really as natural.
