ambrosial

Fit for gods

Ambrosial means divinely delicious or fragrant, worthy of the gods.

The word comes from ambrosia, the mythical food of the Greek gods that conferred immortality.

Something ambrosial delights the senses with exceptional sweetness or fragrance: the ambrosial scent of jasmine, an ambrosial dessert.
