Why does Ezabi think I'm so fragrant?

Do cats just have a really good sense of smell, or do I need to bathe more often?

I believe it's supposed to be some sort of Khajiiti compliment along the same veins as "sleek" and "five-clawed".6 -

✭✭✭✭✭It's a compliment.
Funny thing, in some North German dialects, it once has been one, too (later replaced by super, cool, or whatever people use today).@Syldras | PC | EU

LanteanPegasus✭✭✭✭✭Many cats (house cats as well as tigers and such) actually love certain fragrant things (things that smell quite strongly and distinctively, like cat nip, other herbs, certain spices and so on). Or at least they are stimulated by them in a way that lets human observation assume they "like" them (they interact with objects that smell this way by playing with them, rubbing against them, etc., sometimes they utter sounds of positive interaction, like purring, or try to get them/to them if they are out of reach).
Khajiits being catlike, their sense of smell is probably more pronounced than that of humans, and it makes sense that they put more aesthetic value on it than we do. So, while humans usually compliment on (good) looks, sometimes sounds (voice), and only rarely (and usually only in private) smells, for Khajiits a "fragrant" smell is probably as attractive as good looks or a beautiful voice.
And the positive connotation is probably transferred to a general term of describing someone or something as pleasing/attractive/great. (Just as "smooth", "cool" or things like that in this language.)
It's a compliment. Enjoy it.
I racked my brain over your statement... Do you mean "dufte"? I'm from North-East Germany, and always associated that specific term with Berlin (and maybe the area around it).Funny thing, in some North German dialects, it once has been one, too (later replaced by super, cool, or whatever people use today).

Exactly. It's mainly used in Berlin and Brandenburg, although I've been told that it has originally also been used in other regions. Although I rarely hear it anymore in general.@Syldras | PC | EU

✭✭✭Adding to this, cats are extremely scent focused. They have little scent glands all over their body, and the sharing of those scents is a way of affirming ownership, and familial and friendship bonds. When they rub on you and "make biscuits," they're sharing their scent, as a way of declaring to the world that you are their person! They share their scent with each other and will also transfer it to their home and toys; ever spot a cat rubbing against furniture or other objects?
Now, allegedly recent studies have found that their sense of smell is even more acute than a canine's. The cat's sensory kit is really just unfair. They have superpowers. It's no wonder they sometimes stare into space. They're obviously watching (and smelling) ghosts or analyzing atoms.✨🐦✨ Blackfeather Court Commission ✨🐦✨4 -

Why do cats love the smell of bleach? I don't get it.
Mine haven't ever been interested in bleach. Cinnamon, nutmeg, catnip (of course!), the horses' hoof parings, the dogs' toenails.... The mice in the one attic, the oak moths (you have never had so much joy until you have been awakened in the middle of the night by a cat leaping off the bed after a moth, then when he's caught it, crunching on it near your pillow....)
Cats.... are just different. I haven't had cats for 10 years now - we got a new puppy just after the last old girl kitty died at 21, and I just couldn't do a puppy AND a kitten or so.... and now it's been so long I don't want to try to acclimatize her to cats which she's never been around - but I do miss them terribly.______________________________________________________
