常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Fragrance"?Which "Fragrance" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×This flower has a very strong fragrance smell.
✓This flower has a very strong fragrance.
The word 'fragrance' already means a pleasant smell, so adding 'smell' after it is redundant. Use 'fragrance' alone.
×I like the fragrance of this perfume. It fragrances good.
✓I like the fragrance of this perfume. It smells good.
'Fragrance' is a noun. To describe the action of emitting a scent, use the verb 'smell' (e.g., smells good/fragrant). 'Fragrance' is not used as a verb.
×There is a bad fragrance coming from the kitchen.
✓There is a bad smell/odor coming from the kitchen.
'Fragrance' specifically refers to a pleasant or sweet smell. For unpleasant smells, use 'smell', 'odor', or 'stench'.
×I bought a new fragrance for my body.
✓I bought a new fragrance/perfume/cologne.
While 'fragrance' can mean a scented product like perfume, it's more natural to specify the type (e.g., perfume, cologne, body spray) or simply say 'a new fragrance'. 'For my body' is unnecessary and sounds unnatural.
×The air is full with fragrance.
✓The air is filled with fragrance.
The correct prepositional phrase is 'filled with', not 'full with'. You could also say 'The air is fragrant'.
×This fragrance is more strong than that one.
✓This fragrance is stronger than that one.
For one-syllable adjectives like 'strong', the comparative form is 'stronger', not 'more strong'. For a more formal or specific alternative, you can use 'more intense' or 'more potent'.
