You're burning coolant in the combustion chamber -could be headgasket/crack head or block -get it block and pressure tested.

The white sweet smelling smoke means that your car is getting coolant into the combustion chamber(s) and will possibly require some major engine repairs. Worst case is a cracked cylinder head(s) Maybe just a delaminated head gasket, whatever the cause, the engine will require a tear down to isolate the issue.
