Ok then...
Word: redolent
Definition: 1) fragrant (ex. "redolent blossoms"), 2) odorous or smelling (followed by of, ex. "redolent of sulfur" or "redolent of cherry blossoms"), 3) suggestive or reminiscent (followed by of, ex. "redolent of the music of Mozart" or "redolent of the films of David Lynch")
Further examples: "The odor in this kitchen is redolent of low tide in the middle of summer."
"His writings are redolent of the verse of Dr. Suess."
I love this.
Cheers!
Great one! I'd heard the word but didn't have any idea what it meant. Thank you for clearing it up and offering exemplary examples!
You're welcome!
