Think about this, suppose you're on a Zoom call and you want a person on the other side of the call to match a color that you're seeing. You can say "make it more blue", "make it brighter", "shinier", etc.

You can get pretty close to what you're seeing this way.

With scent? Not even close.

I have no idea why, but I interpreted your original comment completely differently

Yeah, the only way I can describe scent to another person is to compare it to other scents that I hope we both have a common experience with.

Thanks.
