nectareous
Like ambrosia tastes
Nectareous means sweet and delicious like nectar—the drink of the Greek gods, or the sugary fluid flowers produce to attract pollinators.
The word describes flavors, scents, or experiences that are exceptionally pleasing: a nectareous wine, the nectareous fragrance of honeysuckle.
Literary and uncommon, it suggests something divinely sweet.
