How to use scent in a sentence?

1. David Edwards:

   I had started a company called Pulmatrix. We would do nebulization for drug delivery, and I thought, What would it take to make that a satisfying taste experience? the Whif was very important for me in that it seemed the most poetic and the least practical approach, and yet it fascinated people and fascinated me, and my work now in scent delivery was highly influenced by that.

2. Dominic Riccitello:

   It’s 6 AM and I’m at the airport. I know you’ve been here, I can feel you everywhere. It’s in the air, the sudden scent and how the warmth feels like you’re standing there.

3. Alfred North Whitehead:

   Nature gets credit which should in truth be reserved for ourselves: the rose for its scent, the nightingale for its song; and the sun for its radiance. The poets are entirely mistaken. They should address their lyrics to themselves and should turn them into odes of self congratulation on the excellence of the human mind.

4. Sergeant Bryon Kelly:

   It did pick up the scent, but it also lost it, so we don’t know if that person got into a car or somehow got into an area where the dog was not able to track him.

5. Gwen Landt:

   Gwen Landt said. Gwen Landt added that Gwen Landt is trying to give tips to people on when its best to help these animals and when they should be left alone. Rescuers believe the beautiful fawn was separated from Gwen Landt mother and hit by a car which snapped her right back leg just below the hip bone. ( Credit : SWNS) When the mama is taking care of her baby, she leaves it in the ground and it curls up like a little croissant so the mother can go off and find food, she leaves the baby because it doesnt have any scent for a predator to detect. People often come across the baby deer and they think, Oh, it doesnt have a parent, Ill rescue it. But they should wait to see if the mother comes back.
