Strongly suggestive or reminiscent of something; fragrant; having a powerful and pleasant smell.
From Latin 'redolere' — 're-' (intensely) + 'olere' (to smell). Originally just 'smelly,' it evolved to mean 'powerfully evocative' — because nothing triggers memory like smell.
Smell is the sense most connected to memory! Something redolent doesn't just SMELL — it TIME-TRAVELS you! Grandma's cookies, old books, rain on hot pavement — one whiff and you're somewhere else entirely! 👃✨
