T= he point is that in most languages in order to describe smell we have to us= e words used for other senses.
pe'i this is not fair.
.e'u we create new words for smells i= n Lojban. 
.e'u they don't borrow roots from other arbitrary= words like English classification does.

This is what Wikipedia says about odors.

It has been proposed that there are seven primary odors: (with= examples)
  1. Musky- perfumes/aftershave
  2. Putrid- rotten eggs
  3. Pungent- vinegar
  4. Camphoraceous- mothba= lls
  5. Ethereal- dry cleaning fluid
  6. Floral- roses
  7. Pepperminty- mint gum
  8. <= /ol>
