When I see the sentence, She smells good, does it mean she smells good (because she doesn't have a cold and her nose is working normally) or it is because she just took a bath (and she doesn't stink?). Do both these meanings work for Elle sent bon?

sentir bon
This question relates to:French lesson ""Sentir bon" vs "Se sentir bien" - The different meanings of the verb "sentir" in French"
Asked 4 years ago
Hi Vicky,
This has been asked before in the Q&A at the bottom of the lesson.
But just to reiterate it can only mean -
She smells nice
maybe you like the scent of her perfume.
To say she has a good sense of smell you would say -
Elle a un bon odorat
Bonne continuation!
