a pleasant or sweet smell
A nice, sweet smell in the air, often from flowers, perfume, or food.
الگوی کاربرد:
the fragrance of [something]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes use "fragrance" for any kind of smell, even bad ones. In modern English, "fragrance" almost always means a pleasant smell. For a bad smell, use words like "smell" (with context), "bad odor", or "stench". Learners also confuse it with "perfume": "fragrance" can be the smell in the air, not only the bottled product.

متضادها

a perfume or scented product
A liquid perfume or similar product that you put on your body, clothes, or in a room to give a nice smell.
الگوی کاربرد:
wear [a/the] fragrance
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes say "I put a fragrance" instead of "I wear a fragrance" or "I put on perfume". Also, "fragrance" is usually countable in this sense ("a new fragrance", "two fragrances"), while in the smell sense it can be either countable or uncountable.

scent ingredient in products

الگوی کاربرد:

اشتباه رایج:

هممعنیها
perfume (In ingredient lists, sometimes used in the same way to mean added scent substances.)

fragrance additives (More explicitly refers to the substances added to a product to create a smell.)
متضادها
