I'd be inclined to say, "Her office is always nicely fragrant."

Thanks, Avangi!

Talking of fragrant, how often do you use the word "flagrant" in your spoken English? I hear "heinous" all the time.

I hear "flagrant violation" quite a bit.

Personally, I might use it once a month, on average.

Speaking of "heinous," I've heard some important people mispronounce it!

President Bush?

Also, I once heard Benazir Bhutto mispronounce it.
