Summary/Abstract: Vocabulary of the semantic field ‘smell’ in the Russian language is not very rich. It can be divided into three groups: the first one contains the words denoting pleasant smells, the second one denoting unpleasant smells and the third one referring to the sensation of smell. The author discusses nouns of smell intensity, their function in the language, and how olfactory adjective-noun compounds are formed. The study shows that smells of natural objects are most commonly described in Russian.
