"Smell" is a commonly used word, but sometimes we need to vary our vocabulary. Depending on the context, we can use synonyms such as aroma, fragrance, odor, scent, or even stench. Aroma usually refers to a pleasant scent, whereas a fragrance is a pleasing odor, such as that of a flower or perfume. Odor usually refers to a noticeable scent, whether pleasant or unpleasant, while scent can be used to describe a particular smell. Stench, on the other hand, is a foul and offensive smell. By incorporating these synonyms, we can add variety and creativity to our writing and effectively convey the essence of an odor.

How to use "Smell" in context?
What is smell? Simply put, smell is the ability to detect chemicals in the air. These chemicals are called odors. Odors are essential to the survival of many creatures, including humans. The sense of smell is one of the most important human senses. Smell is responsible for our ability to taste, see, and feel.
The human nose is composed of about 100 million olfactory receptor cells. These cells are located on the surface of the nose and in the nasal cavity. When smells are inhaled, the olfactory receptors send nerve signals to the brain.
