Odor
An odor or odour (see
spelling differences) is a volatilized
chemical compound, generally at a very low concentration, which humans and other animals perceive by the
sense of
olfaction. Odors are also called
smells, which can refer to both pleasant and unpleasant odors. The terms fragrance, scent, or aroma are used primarily by the food and cosmetic industry to describe a pleasant odor, and is sometimes used to refer to
perfumes. In contrast, stench, reek, and stink are used specifically to describe unpleasant odor.
