Gardenia scent in my room

The fragrance of gardenias fills my room, sweet and rich.

I think this natural and fresh scent is better than any bottle of perfume.


栀子花的香味萦绕在我的房间,香甜而浓郁。

感觉这自然新鲜的香气,胜过任一瓶的香水。

Wow, I recommend a Chinese poem for you, called "雨巷" by 戴望舒. The famous sentence in it is that 撑着油纸伞,独自彷徨在悠长,悠长又寂寥的雨巷,我希望逢着一个丁香一样地结着愁怨的姑娘。

Gardenia scent in my room

The sweet and rich fragrance of gardenias fills my room, sweet and rich.

Or you could also say “the fragrance of gardenias fills my room with a sweet and rich scent” or something like that - scent might not be the best word but it’s the only one I can think of right now.

You might see “sweet and rich” at the end of a sentence in some books, but personally I find it to be a little formal and used more in novels, poems or other literary works as a play on words.

Good job! It creates some really nice imagery in very few words which is good too.

Thank you! I'm encouraged by your feedback!

The sweet, rich fragrance of gardenias fills my room, sweet and rich.

The original sentence is technically correct, but adjectives added to end makes more sense in a literary context.

I think this fresh, natural and fresh scent is better than any bottle of perfume.

I put 'fresh' before 'natural' -- I'm not sure if there is a grammatical rule, but to my native ear it sounds a bit better :)
