“In the pair ‘smelly’ and ‘fragrant,’ ‘fragrant’ has a positive connotation, while ‘smelly’ has a negative connotation. Typically, the term ‘fragrant’ describes a pleasing, sweet, or pleasant-smelling scent. It is connected to pleasant memories like the smell of flowers or a nice dinner and has a positive connotation. On the other hand, the word ‘smelly’ typically refers to a bad, offensive, or unpleasant odor. It is connected to unpleasant events like foul rubbish, dirty clothes, or ruined food odors and has a negative connotation.”
