How it's used
Focuses specifically on the intensity of sensory experience, usually applied to drinks like coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. It implies a high concentration of ingredients rather than just a pleasant smell. While it can describe food, it is most frequently encountered in the context of beverages.
Examples
Do you like drinking milk tea that is richer?

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe things that are merely fragrant, like flowers or perfume, as those are better described by just using 香.
