While working on one of my fiction projects last night, I began to muse about what different words imply even if they're inherently talking about the same thing. The three in question are:
Smell
Scent
Odor
I realize that others also fit in with those (such as 'fragrance'), but each of those three can definitely have positive or negative associations. What are the first things that come to mind when you read them?
I'm writing from the perspective of a coroner right now, so nothing is particularly pleasant.
