Inspiration can arrive from the strangest of places or event. Take the other day for example, when our sweet little kitten Ambra deployed one of her deadly Weapons of Mass Destruction whilst we were sitting enjoying our afternoon coffee. Yes, Ambra paid an urgent visit to her lettiera<\/strong> (litter tray), and was so moved by the puzza<\/strong> that she had unleashed that she ran across the kitchen, completed a lap of the table, claws scrabbling and slipping on the tight curves, and, using the power of the centrifugal force generated by her circuit, flew up onto the window sill where she asked to be let out a.s.a.p. A few seconds later we discovered the motive for her frantic haste as the incredible odore puzzolente<\/strong> hit us with its full force. Eyes watering, we followed Ambra\u2019s example, and exited post haste \u2026. mamma mia Ambra, che puzza hai fatto!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well, ogni medaglia ha il suo rovescio <\/strong>(every cloud has a silver lining), and once I regained my composure I began to see the merits of a smelly blog \u2026\u2026..<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at some of the words that we use to talk about smell:<\/p>\n

Odore<\/strong><\/u><\/font><\/p>\n

odore<\/strong> = odour\/smell. Odore<\/strong> is pretty much neutral. People or things may have un odore di pulito<\/strong> = a fresh or clean smell, un odore di bruciato<\/strong> = a burnt smell, un odore sgradevole<\/strong> = an unpleasant smell, un buon odore<\/strong> = a good smell, un odore ripugnante<\/strong> = a foul or offensive odour, un cattivo odore<\/strong> = a bad smell, e.g.:<\/p>\n

in its plural form, gli odori<\/strong> is used as a culinary term to describe a mixture of aromatic ingredients used to flavour certain dishes, e.g.: prezzemolo, sedano, basilico, salvia, mentuccia, rosmarino, ecc.<\/strong> (parsley, celery, basil, sage, mint, rosemary etc.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
