Redolent

Page 148 “…and of romances that were not musty and laud away already in lavender, but fresh and breathing and redolent of this year’s shining motor-cars and of dances whose flowers were scarcely withered.”

Definition: evocative: serving to bring to mind

Forms of the word: redolence (noun), redolency (noun), redolently (adverb)
