A strong, rich, cooking smell, especially of roasting or frying meat or fat.
From Latin 'nidor' (steam/vapor from cooking), from 'nidere' (to emit steam). A word for that specific, compelling smell that pulls you toward a kitchen like a cartoon character floating on aroma ribbons.
That SMELL when someone's roasting meat and the aroma grabs you by the nose and PULLS you toward the kitchen! Nidor is specific — it's not flower-smell or rain-smell, it's COOKING-smell! The best alarm clock ever! 🥩👃💨
