What are the most used terms in Ngrams of Google Books: the scent and the smell seem to have the most popularity.
In order to determine how neutral these terms were I selected the following criteria.
- smell of *
- scent of “smiles
- of the* smells great
- smells bad). “The
- asterisk representing
- any term
that follows the last term which Google Books has a record of”
Context of verb smell
(in English): How is the verb better than bad? However, if one notes the different terms used with smell of ; smoke, death, burning, and blood along with fresh, the sea,the earth, etc., the smell is similar. That both unpleasant and pleasant odours are collocated with smell is clearly clear. Whereas (as opposed to) noun scent tends towards positive collocations such as: roses, pine, fresh, the sea, jasmine, the plants, algivity (see further). The fragrance tends towards positive collocations such as: rosa, the daisies, jasmine, and the flowers which are flower scents.
How could the OP’s decision of choosing scent for her proposal be a sensible decision.
