Usage of fragrance, smell and odour #1 (permalink) Wed Nov 19, 2008 8:34 am   Usage of fragrance, smell and odour
 

Could any one give me some examples where

1. each of these words fit properly
2. we can not replace these words in place of each other. i.e we have to use smell and we cannot use fragrance or odour.

Thanks,
Paresh

smell:

The musty smell of moss and pregnant decay would not greet him.

Large cushions and rugs had been flung about and the smell of strong incense or perfume filled the air.

It was fairly near one of the blanket mills and I won't forget the overwhelming smell of sulfur as one passed by.

odour:

Yet devoid of their original magic, they still emit the quaintest odor.

They eliminate foot odor, itchy feet, athletes foot.

It has a characteristic odor of garlic and if eaten by cows it will taint milk.
