Odorous
Definition:
(a.) Having or emitting an odor or scent, esp. a sweet odor; fragrant; sweet-smelling.
Example Sentences:
(1) Experiment 3 showed that the color-induced increase in odor intensity is not due to subjects' preexperimental experience with particular color-odor combinations, because the increase occurred with novel ones.
