Väkevänhajuisia

Väkevänhajuisia is a Finnish adjective that translates to "strongly scented" or "pungent" in English. It describes something that has a very noticeable and often intense odor. This can apply to a wide range of substances and situations, both natural and artificial.

In nature, things like certain flowers, aged cheeses, or even some animal excretions might be described as väkevänhajuisia. These scents are often potent and can linger in the air. The term is not necessarily negative; it simply denotes a strong olfactory presence. For example, the unique aroma of a ripe durian fruit, known for its powerful smell, would be characterized as väkevänhajuinen.

Man-made items can also be väkevänhajuisia. This could include strong perfumes, cleaning agents, or certain industrial chemicals. The intensity of the smell is the key characteristic. When something is described as väkevänhajuinen, it implies that its scent is difficult to ignore and might even be overpowering to some. The perception of whether a väkevänhajuinen scent is pleasant or unpleasant is subjective and depends on individual preferences and cultural contexts.
