易混淆對比
What is the difference between "Aromatic" and similar words?How to choose "Aromatic" vs alternatives?
aromatic vs fragrant
「aromatic」通常指植物、香料或化學物質本身帶有的強烈、獨特香氣，常與氣味來源的本質相關；「fragrant」則泛指任何令人愉悅的香氣，使用範圍更廣，如花朵、香水或食物。
aromatic vs odorous
「aromatic」專指好聞的、芳香的氣味；「odorous」則是中性詞，僅表示「有氣味的」，本身不帶好壞評價，但常被用來指不好聞的氣味。
aromatic vs pungent
「aromatic」描述的香氣通常是豐富、複雜且令人愉悅的；「pungent」則指強烈、刺鼻的氣味，可能令人不適，但未必是臭味。
