mustier
Smelling more stale
Mustier is the comparative form of musty, describing something that smells more stale, damp, or moldy than something else.
A basement might be mustier than an attic; an old book mustier than expected.
The back room was even mustier than the front, with decades of dust settled into the carpet.
