smell普通用词,与odour很相近,中性词。可指好闻或不好闻或中性气味。
fragrance较正式的典雅用词,常指花妆品、花朵和香料等发出的令人感到新鲜、愉快的香味。
incense指香燃烧时发出的芳香的烟味。
perfume书面用词,指强烈、浓厚天然或人工制造的香气。
flaour指影响嗅觉、味觉的香气或香味,多用于指食物等独特的味。
odour书面中性词,侧重气味本身的本质,既可指令人愉快的气味,也可指令人作呕难闻气味。
scent与smell很接近,但着重某物质或物体所特有的气味,多指好闻的气味。

14世纪末期,“senten”,最初是一个狩猎术语,“通过嗅觉发现气味”,来自古法语“sentir”,意为“感觉、嗅、触摸、品尝、认识、感知、向某人示爱”,源自拉丁语“sentire”,意为“用感官感知、发表意见或感受”(见名词 sense)。
17世纪,不合逻辑的 -c- 出现了,或许在这种情况下是受到了 ascent 、descent 等的影响,或受到 science 的影响。但这样的插入在早期现代英语中是一种规律,它还产生了 scythe,有一段时间甚至威胁着确立 scite 和 scituate。
从1550年代开始的比喻用法。及物动词“使气味孕育、使香气四溢、使香”,始于1690年代。相关词汇: Scented, scenting。
