Suaveolens
/swah-VEE-oh-lenz/🏷️ Taxonomy●●● Advanced
A scent epithet meaning the plant has a sweet, gentle, pleasant fragrance. It implies a softer, more delicate perfume than the bold fragrans, and is frequently found on plants whose scent is described as honey-like or subtly sweet.
Etymology
From Latin suavis (sweet, agreeable) + olens, present participle of olere (to smell), literally "smelling sweetly."
Example
“Brugmansia suaveolens (angel's trumpet) and Datura suaveolens fill the evening air with a rich, heavy sweetness that fully justifies this softly scented epithet.”
