How it's used
Focuses on the depth and intensity of sensory experiences like aroma or flavor. It implies a high quality or a well-developed profile rather than just being overwhelming. Use this when describing something that feels full-bodied or deeply saturated.
Examples
The soup she cooked has a very rich flavor.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe physical thickness or density of objects, as that would require words like 厚 or 稠. It is strictly reserved for sensory qualities like smell, taste, or color.
