give off
Release into surroundings
To give off is to emit or release something into the surrounding environment.
The phrase typically applies to substances that emanate without deliberate action: a fire gives off heat, flowers give off fragrance, rotting food gives off a foul smell.
It extends to impressions: She gives off a vibe that she doesn't want to be approached.
