redolent

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

But I can't explain it at all! Could you help me understand?

(Other definitions for redolent that I've seen before include "Do relent, being full of memories or smells" , "Strongly suggesting" , "Fragrant; suggestive (of)" , "odorous" , "Smelling of, evocative" .)
