What noses notice
Scents is the plural of scent—smells, especially pleasant or distinctive ones: the scents of pine and woodsmoke, a shop selling perfumes and scents.
The word also works as a verb meaning to smell or detect: The dog scents a rabbit.
To scent danger or trouble is to sense it coming.
